After holding their opponent scoreless through the first four innings, the Goldeyes allowed the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks to score in multiples the rest of the way in a 9-1, seven inning loss in Game 1 of a doubleheader. Game 2 went better for the Goldeyes, who came back and threatened in the seventh. They were able to put the game-tying run on base, but were unable to cash him in and fell in a 4-3 final. "We look flat. Were not getting on base and running bases, doing things that create excitement," said Goldeyes manager Rick Forney. "We have a young offensive team and two-and-a-half days away from the field and their routines are too much." In the first game, Casey Haerther gave Winnipeg an early lead with a solo home run to the opposite field. However, a trio of two-out hits in the fifth would prove to be the difference for the RedHawks. Zach Penprase tied it with an RBI double off the left-centerfield wall then the next two batters each collected run-scoring hits to give Fargo-Moorhead the 3-1 lead.

The Goldeyes cut the lead in half in their turn in the fourth. Josh Mazzola hit a solo home run to dead center, his third of the season, to highlight the two-run inning. The home run extended Mazzolas hitting streak to 10 games, the best by a Goldeyes player this season. In the ninth, the Goldeyes put their first two men on base after back-to-back walks from Chase Johnson. Samson attempted to move the runners over 90 feet, but popped up the sacrifice attempt. The next batter, Fehlandt Lentini, hit what looked to be a potential double play ball, but the throw to first was off the mark. As a result, a run scored and Lentini stood at second ,but Nick Liles ended the threat and ballgame with a swinging strikeout. Alex Capaul took the loss to fall to 1-2. Alex Caldera went five innings for his third win of the season while despite a rocky seventh, Johnson earned his third save.
