FARGO, ND - The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks defeated the Schaumburg Flyers 5-3 on Sunday afternoon and took three of four games in a weekend series against the Flyers at Newman Outdoor Field.
For the second day in a row, a home run by Fargo-Moorhead (29-17) center fielder Nic Jackson was the big blow that carried the RedHawks. With the game tied in the seventh inning, Jackson came to the plate with Mike Coles and Zach Penprase on base.

With the Flyers having already scored one run in the ninth inning against Donnie Smith, Fargo-Moorhead southpaw Cory Patton came in to slam the door with the tying runner in scoring position to collect his third save of the season.
Jackson was 2-for-2 and also added a sacrifice fly, giving him four RBI on the day. Mike Coles also had two hits for the RedHawks.
First baseman Joe Nowicki was 3-for-4 for Schaumburg and hit his fourth home run of the season. Ray Bourquin, Joey Gomes and Josh Burress all had a pair of hits for the Flyers.
