Fargo, ND – The Sioux Falls Canaries’ four-game winning streak came to an end on Saturday, falling to Fargo-Moorhead 12-8 at Newman Outdoor Field.

Fargo-Moorhead posted another four-run inning in the fourth and added lone runs in both the five and sixth frames.
The Canaries scored five times in the top of the seventh inning. Spencer Sarringar smacked an RBI single and Errny Ordonez drew a bases loaded walk. Two more runs scored on wild pitches before Josh Rehwaldt added an RBI single. The RedHawks, though, answered with two runs in the bottom half.
