Sioux Falls Canaries News Release
Sioux Falls, SD - The Sioux Falls Canaries earned the franchise's first postseason victory in four years Wednesday night, blanking Winnipeg 5-0 at the Bird Cage.
The Birds scored twice in the opening inning; a bases loaded walk drawn by Josh Rehwaldt and a Mike Hart sacrifice fly.
Drew Mount was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the fourth inning to give Sioux Falls a 3-0 lead before adding two more runs in the fifth. Jabari Henry doubled and scored on a single from Hart. Scott Combs then drove in Hart with a base hit.
That would be more than enough support for Tanner Brown as the left-hander tossed seven shutout innings, allowing two hits while striking out nine. Brady Stover and Charlie Hasty each tossed a scoreless inning of relief as the Canaries finished the game with 12 strikeouts as a staff.
The best-of-three series now shifts to Winnipeg for a 7:00 contest on Friday.
