McGOVERN BLANKS BIRDS TO CLINCH SERIES

 

Fargo, ND – Kevin McGovern tossed eight shutout inning, struck out seven and allowed just four baserunners on Wednesday as Fargo-Moorhead topped the Canaries 7-0 at Newman Outdoor Field.

 

John Silviano opened the scoring with a two-run homerun in the second inning. Manuel Boscan homered with a runner on base in the fourth before adding an RBI double an inning later. Christian Correa delivered a two-run round-tripper of his own in the seventh.

 

Kona Quiggle had two of Sioux Falls’ five hits and Nate Garkow did not allow a baserunner in 2 1/3 scoreless innings of relief. The Birds are now 31-50 and will look to salvage a game in the series Thursday at 7:02pm.
