LINCOLN, NE - The Winnipeg Goldeyes (3-5) launched three home runs, including a go-ahead three-run blast in the eighth inning, to defeat the Lincoln Saltdogs (1-6) by a score of 9-7 on a windy Friday evening at Haymarket Park.
Lincoln struck early, taking a 7-3 lead through five innings behind a five-run third frame. Spencer Henson belted a three-run homer, and Yusniel Díaz added a solo shot to give the Saltdogs early momentum.
However, Winnipeg chipped away at the deficit. Designated hitter Max Murphy tied Josh Mazzola for second in franchise history with his 90th home run in a Winnipeg uniform- a three-run shot in the third. Matthew Warkentin added a solo homer in the seventh to bring the Goldeyes within one.
