The Goldeyes opened the scoring in the top of the fourth. Reggie Abercrombie led off with a single, and the Goldeyes went on to load the bases with no outs on a Jose Sermo walk and a David Begin hit batsmen. Ty Moore plated Abercrombie on a groundball to second base.
In the top of the ninth, Jordan Ebert drew a one-out walk, stole second base, took third on a throwing error, and scored Winnipeg's second run on a wild pitch.
