RedHawks Out-Slug Monarchs To Open Series

FARGO, N.D. — Isiah Gilliam and Jaylyn Williams drove in three runs apiece, but the Kansas City Monarchs fell 14-8 to the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks Monday night at Newman Outdoor Field.

The RedHawks took control with a six-run third inning, including a three-run home run from Peter Brookshaw off starter Julian Garcia.

Kansas City rallied to within four and brought the tying run to the plate in the seventh, but got no closer than that.

John Nogowski, a former MLB infielder signed earlier Monday, went 1-for-5 in his team debut.

Patrick Pridgen delivered another impressive relief outing for Kansas City, allowing just one unearned run across four innings in relief of Garcia. The right-hander has not allowed an earned run across eight innings since moving from the rotation to the bullpen.

The RedHawks cemented their win with five runs in the seventh, including a bases-clearing double from Robert Perez, Jr. that gave the RedHawks an 11-3 lead. The Monarchs added five more runs over the last two frames with the game out of reach.
