Lincoln Saltdogs News Release
WINNIPEG, Manitoba - C Luke Roskam hit two homers, LHP Tanner Brown had a quality start, and the 'Dogs beat the Winnipeg Goldeyes 7-1 in the series opener on Tuesday night at Shaw Park.
Roskam's first homer came in the 5th, a three-run shot that gave Lincoln (16-17) a 3-1 lead after the Goldeyes (13-21) had scored first on an RBI double from RF Max Murphy in the 3rd inning.
The 'Dogs scored three more times in the 5th. SS Drew Devine hit a sacrifice fly and 1B Yanio Perez hit a two-run double to make it 6-1.
That was plenty of support for Brown, who allowed just one run over 6 and 2/3 innings to pick up his first win as a 'Dog. He gave up three hits with five walks and six strikeouts.
Roskam's second homer was a solo shot in the 8th inning and the 'Dogs picked up a ninth win when trailing this season.
Perez, Roskam and Perez each had multi-hit games while Roskam had four-plus RBIs for the second time this season. DH Zane Zurbrugg singled to extend his hitting streak to eight games.
RHP Nic Laio pitched 1 and 1/3 innings scoreless and RHP Carson Lance tossed a scoreless 9th inning.
