WINNIPEG, Man. - The Milwaukee Milkmen dropped the final game of their series in Winnipeg after a back-and-forth battle against the Goldeyes.

Final Score: Milwaukee Milkmen 4, Winnipeg Goldeyes 6.

Much like yesterday's game, both teams traded scores to start the contest. Cam Balego hit a solo home run in the top of the first while Winnipeg scored one in the bottom of the inning. The Goldeyes then took the lead by scoring another in the second.

The Milkmen were able to recapture the lead in the fifth with a solo shot from Cam Balego before Reggie Pruitt Jr. Scored on a single from Bryan Torres. However, Winnipeg once again responded by scoring another in the bottom of the inning to tie it up at three.

Starting pitcher Christian Young then finished up his day going four and one-third innings allowing three runs on eight hits while striking out four. Jack Mahoney was then given the ball. He gave up another run in the sixth before the Milkmen then scored another, this time it was another home run from Michael Crouse.

That would be the last score of that day for Milwaukee as the Goldeyes were able to score another two in the eighth to break the tie and take a 6-4 lead. They then closed the game in the ninth as the Milkmen lost the final game of the series after winning the first two.

"It was a good road trip, we won both series and got ourselves some good momentum going back home" Milkmen manager Anthony Barone said of the teams road trip to Fargo and Winnipeg. "But now we've got another big week ahead of us."

Milwaukee will now take a day off to return to Franklin Field before taking on the Chicago Dogs. First pitch of the series is set to be at 6:35 p.m. on Tuesday. We hope to see you soon!
