FARGO, N.D. - Jesse Hoorelbeke hit a two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning to put the RedHawks ahead for the first time in the game and giving Fargo-Moorhead a 4-2 lead as they defeated the Calgary Vipers in front of 2977 at Newman Outdoor Field on Saturday
Calgary placed the first run on the board in the top of the first inning when the leadoff hitter, Nelson Castro, reached on a single to left field and advanced around the bags on a stolen base, a groundout and a sacrifice fly by Josh Carter.
The RedHawks pulled even in the bottom of the second inning when Eric Kofler, who reached on balls, scored on an RBI ground by Craig Ringe but the Vipers reclaimed the lead in the fourth inning. Fargo-Moorhead again pulled the even with Calgary when Hoorelbeke scored on a Kory Wayment triple.
The game was scoreless through three innings before Hoorelbeke hit his fourth home run of the season.
