FARGO, N.D. - Matt Mossey fired a one-hit shutout to lead the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks over the Gary SouthShore RailCats 7-0 in front of 4,025 fans on Thursday night at Newman Outdoor Field. Mossey (3-1) struck out five and did not allow a walk in the 95-pitch gem and faced the minimum twenty seven hitters on the evening.
Fargo-Moorhead (20-10) struck early on a leadoff home run by right fielder Mike Coles in the first inning. They tacked on four more runs in the second, the big blow coming on a bases loaded double by shortstop Zach Penprase that cleared the base paths. The RedHawks closed out their scoring in the third inning on Eric Campbell's two-run home run, his seventh of the season.
Gary (18-16) got their only hit of the night in the eighth inning on a slow roller to short by third baseman Jeff Beachum. The next hitter for the RailCats, Louis Ott, bounced into a 4-6-3 double play to end the inning.
Tom Thornton (1-1) pitched six innings and took the loss for Gary. He gave up seven runs on eight hits while striking out two.
Carlo Cota was 2-for-4 with a double for Fargo-Moorhead and Penprase was 1-for-2 with three RBI.
The two teams will meet again tomorrow night with the first pitch scheduled for 7:02pm. Left Brad Halsey (1-2, 4.74) will get the nod for Gary while the RedHawks will send Fargo native Jake Laber (3-1, 4.50) to the hill.
