Fargo's four-run spurt in the top of the fifth, capped off with a Nic Jackson two-run double, gave the RedHawks an 8-2 lead.
The Saltdogs rallied to score two in the bottom of the ninth, on a Mike Provencher RBI triple and a Brian Wuest run-scoring groundout.
Alex Caldera (7-2) pitched six innings, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out four and walking two to earn the victory. Ben Henry (0-3) went four innings, allowing four runs on four hits while walking six and fanning three to absorb the loss.
