After that, Kusiewicz dropped his arm angle down and pitched well. Kusiewicz pitched scoreless ball through to the 6th inning. Kusiewicz (0-1) allowed 7 runs, 6 earned, on 11 hits with 4 strikeouts.

Right hander Ian Holmen allowed 4 more runs on 2 innings of relief work.

Winnipeg starter Glenn Bott was outstanding for the fish, going the distance to improve his record to 6 and 5. Bott scattered 6 hits, struck out 6 hitters, and did not walk a batter.

The GoldEyes now improve to 11 and 7 and take a 2 game lead over the ‘Cats, now 8 and 8.

The series resumes Wednesday night with right hander Mike Henry (2-0, 1.88 ERA) for Edmonton. The GoldEyes will counter with Ben Moore (4-1, 3.65 ERA).
