Goldeyes Ace RedHawks
August 29, 2010 - Northern League (NL)
Winnipeg Goldeyes News Release
On fan appreciation day, Ace Walker gave Winnipeg Goldeyes fans plenty to appreciate.
The Goldeyes starter took a no-hitter into the eighth inning, as the Fish blanked the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks 3-0 Sunday afternoon in front of a large crowd of 7,110.
Walker, who struck out 11 Fargo batters in the game, watched Carlo Cota hit a single to left field to break up the no-no.
It's the first time in franchise history that a Goldeyes pitcher has tossed a one-hitter. Walker also matched a Winnipeg record with six consecutive strikeouts in the game.
Winnipeg opened the scoring in the third inning when Brett Wallace touched home plate on a Price Kendall single and Donzell McDonald scored on a Juan Diaz single. Justin Justice hit a solo home run in the fourth to complete the scoring.
Sean Gregory took the loss for Fargo after going three and two-thirds innings.
The win is the Goldeyes 21st victory at Canwest Park this season, which matches a team record for the fewest home wins in a season.
Winnipeg is five games back of the Gary SouthShore RailCats for the fourth and final playoff spot in the Northern League. The Goldeyes tragic number that would see them eliminated from post-season contention is two.
The Fish begin a season-ending six-game road trip Tuesday night against the Rockford RiverHawks at Road Ranger Stadium.
