HIGHLIGHTS: Two big innings from Kansas City hand RedHawks third straight loss

FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) – The RedHawks head into the all-star break in a skid, having lost three straight games to the Kansas City Monarchs, including a 9-2 defeat Sunday to conclude a weekend series.

It was a tale of two games because the RedHawks no-hit the Monarchs in the first five innings, entering the sixth up 1-0.

However, Kansas City used a pair of crooked numbers to flip the script and win big, tallying four runs in the sixth and five runs in the eighth.

Sunday’s contest was Fargo-Moorhead’s last matchup in a stretch of 18 games in 17 days, so the three-day break this week is very welcome for Manager Chris Coste’s team.

”I think this all-star break came at the perfect time for us,” Coste said. “We’re kind of limping in right now. We haven’t played terrible, but I think it caught up to us more mentally.

“But I’ll tell you we have a team full of guys that when we hop on the bus in a few days, we’re gonna be excited to play some baseball again.”

The RedHawks are off until Thursday, when Fargo-Moorhead travels to Gary to face the Railcats in a three-game series. Outfielder Ismael Alcantara and Pitcher Tyler Grauer will represent the RedHawks at the All-Star Game in Kansas City this week.
