FARGO, ND – The Saltdogs (31-51) battled back from an early deficit with timely hitting and defense to take game one over Fargo-Moorhead (44-38) 8-4.
INF Dakota Conners posted a three-hit performance with an RBI single and a two-run triple which ended up being the difference in the game.
INF Drew Devine broke out with a three-hit performance coming around to score three times and stealing two bases.
INF Alex Baeza was the second three-RBI performance for Lincoln driving in three on a pair of singles. His total reached 51 for the season which leads the team.
Fargo-Moorhead got on the board early and often scored a run in the second and third innings.
Lincoln would go on to score four runs to take a two-run lead, including three runs on five hits in the fifth inning. The RedHawks however would tie the game back up in the bottom half of the inning.
In the sixth, the ‘Dogs got back-to-back two-out singles from C Max Hewitt and Devine before Conners popped a triple down the line in right, the ball escaping into the corner, allowing both runners to score.
Baeza would come through late yet again for Lincoln driving in two more insurance runs on his second hit of the game in the eighth scoring Conners and Devine to make it an 8-4 game.
