Wingnuts shut out by Sioux Falls
Miles Nordgren threw eight innings of shutout ball to help the Sioux Falls Canaries beat the Wichita Wingnuts 1-0 on Sunday afternoon at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium.
It was the second time this season that division-leading Wichita was shut out.
Nordgren (3-3) struck out five, didn’t walk anyone and allowed seven hits. Jose Ortega pitched the ninth for his 10th save.
Wingnuts starter Eddie Medina (6-3) allowed four hits and one run over seven innings. Sioux Falls’ run came on a fifth-inning home run by Burt Reynolds.
