FARGO — Fargo-Moorhead dug itself a big hole early and four Lincoln pitchers wouldn't let the RedHawks dig out in a 7-2 Saltdogs win on Saturday before 3,792 at Newman Outdoor Field.
Lincoln led 6-0 after two innings and the RedHawks couldn't get on the board until the seventh inning, when Rymer Liriano and Evan Alexander both singled in runs.
Lincoln starter and winner Garett Delano allowed two runs on eight hits, walking one and striking out four, in 6-1/3 innings.
Saltdogs reliever Matt Cronin pitched a hitless inning, striking out two. Relievers David Zoz and Carter Hope cleaned up the final 1-2/3 innings.
F-M's John Silviano was 2 for 3 and was the lone RedHawk with multiple hits. Starter Taylor Bloye took the loss, going five innings and allowing five earned runs on 11 hits.
