Sioux Falls and Wichita Share Doubleheader

After getting rained out Monday night, the Pheasants and the Wingnuts decided to play nice and share the doubleheader on Tuesday, which would prove to be an interesting night of ball play.

The Wingnuts winged the Birds with a 4-3 shotgun blast to send them into the second game. The Pheasants, however, were not going to be put in the game bag so easily and spurred the Wingnuts with a 4-2 win that included a round-tripper by MLB veteran and Pheasants centerfielder , Reggie Abercrombie. Pheasants ace, Chris Salberg, only allowed three runs on seven hits, only two of which were earned, and fanned six to earn the win.

It was certainly an interesting night absolutely filled with bad calls by the first base umpire (most of which were against the Birds) and both managers were thrown out of the game as a result. Let's hope this ump's role model isn't the infamous MLB umpire Jim Joyce, whose bad call earlier this year resulted in ruining what should have been Detroit's, Armando Gallaraga's, first perfect game. I think it's time the leagues get better umpires.
