Henry homers twice as Canaries edge Railcats
Henry opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the top of the first inning. The RailCats answered with a run in the second and tied the game in the third.
Scott Combs gave the Canaries a 4-2 lead with a two-run single in the fourth. Both teams added a run in the fifth, with Barth delivering an RBI single before the RailCats responded in the bottom half.
Gary SouthShore tied the game again in the sixth on a two-out, two-run double. But Henry struck again in the seventh, crushing a go-ahead solo homer that proved to be the difference.
Kody Dalen earned his first professional win, while Brady Stover retired all three batters he faced in the ninth to record his fifth save. Barth finished 3-for-5 and Henry drove in three to lead the Sioux Falls offense.
The Canaries (14-15) will look to clinch the three-game series Wednesday night at 6:45pm.

Sophie Cunningham leaves Fever's overtime win over Sun with a knee injury
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Connecticut Sun with a knee injury, marking the latest injury to a Fever squad that has already been decimated. The injury occurred during the second quarter of Indiana's 99-93 overtime victory when Connecticut guard Bria Hartley drove to the basket, fell and collided with Cunningham's leg on her way down. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Cunningham stayed down clutching her right knee in pain as the rest of the team went to the other side of the court. She was helped off the court and into the locker room, wearing a towel over her head. After Cunningham went down, the Fever battled back to win. Despite Connecticut being up by as many as 21 points, Indiana forced OT after a stellar 32-point fourth quarter. Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell finished with 38 points, tying a season high; 34 of those points came after halftime. After the game, Cunningham did not comment on the injury, but praised Mitchell for her stellar performance on X. Cunningham's sister, Lindsey, took to X after the game to point blame at the officials for the injury. "@WNBA maybe you should focus less on fining players for commenting on your poor officiating & more about hiring officials that are able to call a consistent game and protect your athletes," she wrote, with Sophie Cunningham reposting her sister's message. Cunningham has been fined twice by the league for complaints about officiating. Cunningham's injury is the latest for the Fever, who have lost most of their guards due to injury. Caitlin Clark has missed most of the season with a groin injury, while the other two point guards — Aari McDonald and veteran Sydney Colson — both suffered season-ending injuries in a loss to the Phoenix Mercury earlier this month. Colson went down with an ACL tear, while McDonald suffered a broken bone in her foot. Last week, the Fever signed veteran guard Odyssey Sims to a hardship contract to help replenish their point guard depth. Sims made her first start for Indiana on Sunday.
