Shamoy Christopher led off the top of the fifth with a triple and scored on an Ozzie Martinez single. Martinez went on to cross home plate on a bases loaded walk drawn by Jabari Henry.
Fargo-Moorhead cut into the lead with an RBI single in the sixth inning but Trevor Achenbach cranked a solo homerun in the bottom half to rebuild a three-run cushion.
The RedHawks, though, struck for four runs in their half of the eighth inning with a sacrifice fly followed by a go-ahead three-run homerun.
Hunter Clanin ripped a solo shot to tie the game in the bottom of the eighth. Christopher followed with his second triple of the night before scoring on a sacrifice fly from Martinez.
