FARGO - A three-run ninth completed a late rally and helped push the Sioux City Explorers past the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks, 4-3, Monday at Newman Outdoor Field.

The Explorers (23-26) began their comeback with one out in the ninth trailing 3-1. Peter Barrows hit a double and scored the first run of the inning on a Luke Murton single. Bryan Pounds followed with a single, and a Yusuke Inoguchi sacrifice fly drove in pinch-runner Gilbert Briones from third, tying the game at 3-3. After a Sam Judah single put runners on the corners, Adrian Martinez hit the game-winning double down the left-field line - giving Sioux City the 4-3 lead.

Fargo-Moorhead (29-21) starter Taylor Stanton had another strong outing in the no-decision. Stanton pitched eight innings and allowed one run (none earned) on five scattered hits. He struck out eight batters and walked none - his second consecutive game he has given up zero walks. Chase Johnson dropped to 1-1 after pitching for the 'Hawks in the ninth.

Dan Jurik pitched 6 2/3 innings for Sioux City and gave up three earned runs on seven hits, three walks, while striking out nine. Jon Plefka improved to 1-1 in 1 1/3 innings of relief and Chris Bodishbaugh earned his 12th save of the season.

Nic Jackson led the RedHawks at the plate with a 2-for-4 performance, including a two-run double that gave Fargo-Moorhead a 3-1 lead in the seventh. Mitch Einertson had two hits and Keith Brachold smacked solo home run in the second.

Sioux City combined for 10 hits in the ballgame compared to Fargo-Moorhead's seven. Barrows, Martinez, and Anthony Kaskadden each had two hits for Sioux City.
