SCHAUMBURG, IL - The Flyers (24-40) beat the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks (37-24) 9-7 Saturday night with an offensive onslaught at Alexian Field.
The Flyers took the early lead in the second when Ron Bourquin doubled with one out and scored after F-M left fielder Jay Cox threw the ball into the Redhawks dugout.
Schaumburg would tack on a couple more runs in the third. Both were driven in on a Ruddy Yan inside the park home run, the first inside-the-parker for the Flyers this season.
The RedHawks would not be outdone, as they would put up two runs in the fifth. Carlo Cota led off the inning with a double that was quickly followed up by a single by Kole Zimmerman. Cota would score on a Cory Patton groundout, while Zimmerman would score on a Mike Coles single.
