Sioux Falls Canaries News Release


Sioux Falls, S.D. – The hit parade began early and lasted throughout Sunday afternoon for the Lincoln Saltdogs as they defeated the Sioux Falls Canaries by the score of 18-3, clinching the season-opening series two games to one.

Lincoln gave its starting pitcher Brian Rodaway a four run cushion before he even took the mound by scoring in the top of the first inning. The Saltdogs then added a run in the second, five runs in the fourth inning, two runs in the sixth inning and six runs in the final frame.

The Canaries only scoring came from a three-run homerun off the bat of Edgard Clemente, his third homer in the last two games.

Brian Rodaway picked up the win (1-0), while Jackson Crowther fell in defeat (0-1).

The Saltdogs offense racked up 40 runs and 50 hits in the three-game series.

Sioux Falls continues the opening home stand with game one of a four-game series against the I-29 rival Sioux City Explorers tonight at 7:05. Former Kansas City Royal Tony Cogan will pitch for the Canaries while Tom Lipari is the probable starter for the X's.

Tomorrow is BALCO* (*Be Gone) Night at the Birdcage. Fans will receive specimen cups with free samples of Mello Yellow upon entrance to the ballpark and public address announcer Dan Christopherson will undergo wild mood swings throughout the game. Tickets are still available for each of the remaining games of the home stand by calling 605.333.0179 or by visiting canariesbaseball.com.
