Schaumburg, IL - The Flyers earned its first win of the 2008 campaign Friday, beating the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks 4-3.
Flyers pitcher Brad Mumma pitched six innings, allowing one unearned run and striking out seven. His counterpart, RedHawks pitcher Broc Coffman, pitched 6.2 solid innings, allowing four hits and striking out three.
The Flyers bats also came alive Friday, as Vince Harrison, Peanut Williams and Chris Gaskin each hit solo home runs. A two-out double by shortstop Mark Haske scored right fielder Lance Koenig from third base in the seventh inning.
