Wichita, KS - The Sioux Falls Canaries (4-3) were shutout 3-0 by the Wichita Wingnuts (2-6) on Monday night at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium. J.D. Reininger went 3-for-3, recording half of the Canaries hits.
The Wingnuts drew first blood in the second inning. Dustan Mohr opened the inning with a single to centerfield that was misplayed by Cory Harris. The error by Harris allowed Mohr to third base, and a wild pitch by Canaries starter Travis Kane brought in Mohr for a 1-0 Wichita lead.
Wichita extended their lead in the sixth inning. Greg Porter singled and stole second base before scoring on a single by Mohr. Porter's run put the Wingnuts ahead by a pair, 2-0.
The Wingnuts tacked on one final run in the eighth. With two outs, Nick Blasi singled and raced home on a triple by Porter. Porter's 42nd RBI of the season sealed the 3-0 final.
Adam Cowart (5-2) pitched seven shutout innings, allowing just six hits while striking out four, to get his second win against the Canaries this season. Joe D'Alessandro pitched a perfect ninth inning for his second save. Travis Kane was saddled with the loss, throwing the complete game and allowing three runs, two earned, on eight hits.
