LATE MONARCH RALLY SINKS SIOUX FALLS
Kansas City, KS – The Sioux Falls Canaries got a strong start from Derek Craft and a two-RBI effort from Josh Rehwaldt on Wednesday but Kansas City rallied late to top the Birds 3-2 at Legends Field.
Michael Curialle drew a two-out walk in the top of the first inning and scored on a Rehwaldt double. The 1-0 lead held until a Kansas City solo homerun in the bottom of the fifth tied things up.
Rehwaldt led off the seventh inning with a go-ahead solo shot but the Monarchs responded with a two-out, two-run blast in the home half to jump in front for good. Sioux Falls was limited to one baserunner the rest of the way as the Canaries dip to 19-18 overall.
Craft took a no-decision, allowing two runs on four hits over 6 2/3 innings while fanning five. The two teams wrap up their three-game series Thursday at 6:35pm.
