Winnipeg Goldeyes News Release
Following two meaningless games, the Winnipeg Goldeyes and Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks are ready for some meaningful playoff baseball.
Winnipeg fell to the RedHawks 11-3 Monday night in the 100th and final game of their American Association's regular season schedule.
Fargo scored in the game's first four innings and seven and ninth innings.
Winnipeg's scoring came with a run in the bottom of the first and two in the bottom of the third, including a solo home run from Yurendell de Caster.
Price Kendall led Winnipeg at the plate by going four-for-five and scoring a run. He was the only Goldeyes player to register more than one hit.
Denver Wynn suffered the loss for the Goldeyes in his first professional start. He allowed eight runs, seven were earned, in five and two-thirds innings.
Fargo starter Jake Laber evened his record to 7-7 by throwing seven and a third innings.
Winnipeg and Fargo will begin their best-of-five American Association Divisional Series Wednesday night in Fargo at Newman Outdoor Field. The first two games are in Fargo before the scene shifts back to Shaw Park on Friday for Game 3 and any other remaining games.
The other best-of-five divisional series has the South Division Champion Laredo Lemurs facing the Central Division Champion Wichita Wingnuts.
Ace Walker will start Game 1 for the Goldeyes, while the RedHawks are going with fellow righty Tyler Herron.
The pre-game show with Paul Edmonds on TSN 1290 begins at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Game time is 7:02 p.m.
