After Wichita steamrolled Grand Prairie in three straight to complete the sweep in their series. The Railcats won three in a row against the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks, after the Hawks took game 1.
This will mark the second time in as many year's that Fargo has won the North Division and then been bounced out by the wildcard winning team. Morgan Coombs pitched 7 strong innings allowing only seven baserunners, and striking out eight for Gary picking up the win. He only ran into trouble once as he put runners on the corners in the top of the fifth. He got Ronnie Borquin to fly out to end the threat. Estevan Uriegas pitched the eight retiring all three batters he faced, and Ian Durham pitched the ninth striking out all three batters he faced to pick up the save.
Offensively, the Railcats were led by leadoff man Adam Klein who had two hits in the game. Mike Massaro, Ried Fronk, and Brian Kolb each had an RBI for the Railcats.
The championship series begins on Tuesday night in Gary at U.S. Steelyard. They will host games one and two, with the series shifting to Wichita for games three and if necessary four and five.

On a busy night in the MLB, there were many games to recap. I attended a wedding last night so I was unable to watch any games. Here's a link to the scored from yesterday. (Saturday Sept 7th)
