Sioux Falls, SD - The Canaries' three-game winning streak came to an end on Wednesday, falling to Kansas City 6-5 in ten innings at the Bird Cage.

Jordan Barth doubled to begin the fourth inning, reached third base on a flyout to deep centerfield and scored on a sacrifice fly from Josh Rehwaldt. The Monarchs would tie the game with a homerun in the top of the sixth before taking the lead with another solo shot in the seventh.

Kansas City added another run that inning on a groundball to shortstop before Hunter Clanin got a run back in the bottom half with a sacrifice groundout.

The Monarchs built a 4-2 lead with an RBI single in the eighth inning and carried a two-run cushion into the ninth. Spencer Sarringar reached on error with one out before Trevor Achenbach blasted a two-run homerun to tie the game and force extra innings.

Kansas City retook the lead with a two-run homerun on the first pitch of the top of the tenth before Sioux Falls got a run back in the bottom half on a sacrifice fly from Wyatt Ulrich. The Birds managed to get the tying run to third base but couldn't complete the rally.
