Schaumburg Flyers News Release
Schaumburg, IL - An unfortunate end for the first home stand for the Pilots (5-8), they lose the final game of the series against the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks (8-5) two games to one in a game that ended eight to three. A game which had an hour rain delay in the top of the seventh and a close game before the rain started to fall.
The game started out with both starting pitchers Brett Harker and Darren Byrd starting out strong but then in the top of the third inning Brett Harker gives up two runs on a Jay Cox double and a Mike Coles single for the Pilots.
In the bottom of the fourth inning a walk by Joey Gomes and a homerun by Chris Schultz tied the game up at two. But Harker would find trouble again in sixth inning, walking two batters and then giving up an RBI double to score the two men walked. Those four runs would prove to be enough for the Redhawks but the visiting team managed to tag four more in the top of the ninth inning, off a throwing error on first baseman Joe Nowicki and a 3 run homerun by Erick Campbell.
Before the four runs would score in the top of the ninth the game was still close. In the bottom of the sixth the Pilots brought the game back to within one run after Mike Mooney got on base and was driven in by a base hit by Joe Pauley. Momentum was on the Pilots side until the top of the seventh inning saw an hour long rain delay which gave Fargo-Moorhead time to collect themselves and seal the game with an extra four runs.
Tomorrow the Pilots have an off day to travel for a seven game road trip which takes them first to Winnipeg and then to Fargo-Moorhead the first game which will be against Winnipeg Friday.
