Sioux City got on the board in the bottom half with a Cade Marquardt RBI groundout to make it 6-1. Curialle's second sac fly of the night extended the lead to 7-1 in the fourth.

The Explorers answered with an infield RBI single from Henry George, scoring Jackson Van De Brake to make it 7-2 and pushing George's hitting streak to 11 straight games.

Chris Kwitzer doubled in a run in the fifth to make it 8-2. At that point, every Sioux Falls hitter had a hit.

Achenbach struck again in the sixth with a two - run triple after back - to - back walks, stretching the lead to 10-2.

In the eighth, Hart added his second RBI of the night with a single to right, and Mason Minzey lifted a sac fly to make it 12-2. Henry George drove in another in the bottom half to cut it to 12-3.

Curialle capped his huge night with his fourth RBI on a ninth - inning double, and Hart followed with an RBI single to make it 14-3, tying the most runs Sioux City has allowed in a game this season.
