SIOUX CITY - The Sioux Falls Canaries dropped both games of a doubleheader at Lewis and Clark Park Sunday. The Canaries rallied to tie Game 1 3-3 in the 7th before dropping the contest on a walkoff single 4-3. The Birds were shutout for the second time this season 3-0 in Game 2.
Wyatt Ulrich and Mitch Glasser each picked up RBI on sacrifice flies in the third inning of Game 1 to put the Canaries up 2-0. After falling behind 3-2, Angelo Altavilla knocked a game-tying double to right center with two outs in the final inning. The X's won the game on a walkoff single by Mitch Ghelfi.
Angel Ventura was credited with the no-decision after allowing three runs (three earned) as the Sioux Falls starter in Game 1.
