The Sioux City Explorers earned their first series sweep of the series with a 4-1 win over the Rockland Boulders Thursday night at Lewis & Clark Park.

Starter Aaron Correa scattered seven hits and struck out three to pick up his second win of the season.

Brandon Newton and Brian Bistagne led the X's with two hits a piece.

After collecting six RBIs in Sioux City's 11-1 win on Wednesday, Jorge Delgado opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the first to give the X's a 1-0 lead.

Mike Murphy added an RBI single in the fourth to push the X's lead to 2-0.

With three straight singles to open the seventh, Rockland cut the lead in half on a fielder's choice.

Sioux City answered with two in the home half of the frame.

Andrew Snowdon came on in relief and struck out five to pick up his first save of the season.

The X's now hit the road for a three game series against Wichita.  Of their remaining 16 games, Sioux City only has six more home games this season.
