The Sioux City Explorer’s 2025 baseball season ended sooner than anyone wanted Saturday evening, with a 7-1 playoff loss to the Sioux Falls Canaries at Lewis & Clark Park.
Jabari Henry hit 3 home runs as the Canaries unleashed a power surge to overwhelm the Explorers to win both games in Sioux city and take the opening round of the playoffs 2 games to 1.
The home team lost every game in the best of 3 series, including a 16-8 loss by the X’s in Sioux City Friday night.
In Game Two, Sioux City was just nine outs away from advancing with a three-run lead, but Sioux Falls came up huge when it mattered most.
The X’s playoff run ends in the first round for the second straight season.
