Winnipeg Goldeyes News Release
Fargo-Moorhead opened the scoring off Mark Michael in the second. Nick Jackson singled to lead it off and stole second. Yurendell DeCaster followed with a fly ball to right that Cory Patton misplayed, putting both runners in scoring position with none out. After getting the next two batters, Michael gave up a two-run single to Alan Rick before Justin Justice hit his fourth home of the year to make it 5-0.
Blanked through four by Scott Fogelson, the Goldeyes came to life in the fifth. After walking Wes Long to start the inning, Fogelson got Josh Asanovich to fly out before issuing his sixth walk of the day, this one to Kevin West. That was it for Fogelson, who was replaced by T.J. Stanton and met by a Juan Diaz single that scored Long and sent West to third. Cody Ehlers singled to score West, sending Diaz to third, from where he scored on a Dee Brown single that extended his league-leading hit streak to 18 games. It was also the first earned run allowed this year by Stanton. Scott Koerber replaced Stanton and got Patton to bounce into an inning-ending double play.
The visitors came right back in the top of the sixth. Justice doubled to start the inning off Zach Baldwin, who was replaced by Chris Homer, making his first appearance in more than a month. Zach Penprase greeted him with a double to score Justice. Penprase moved up on a Mike Coles ground out and scored to make it 7-3 on a Jackson sacrifice fly. The hosts got one back in the bottom of seven off Elvys Quezada. Cody Ehlers doubled with two out and scored on a single by Brown.
Fogelson (3-2) was the winner, allowing two runs on three hits in four-plus innings, fanning three and walking six. Michael (0-1) took the loss, allowing five runs (none earned) in four innings on eight hits with two walks and an equal number of strikeouts.
