Bats Stay Silent as Goldeyes Swept by Gary SouthShore

Jason Young • June 21, 2024

WINNIPEG, MB – The Gary SouthShore RailCats (14-23) completed a series sweep of the Winnipeg Goldeyes with a 4-1 victory at Blue Cross Park Thursday evening.

 

Box Score

 

The RailCats led from wire-to-wire after shortstop Howard Rodríguez hit the first pitch of the ballgame over the left field wall. It was his first professional home run. Four batters later, right fielder LG Castillo made the score 2-0 with a single to right that brought in second baseman Gio Díaz.

 

There was no further scoring until the top of the seventh inning when Castillo came home on left fielder Nick Penzetta’s two-out single to centre field. Penzetta would later score on Rodríguez’s base hit to centre as Gary SouthShore increased their lead to 4-0.

 

Winnipeg (19-18) finally got on the board in the bottom of the eighth inning. Left fielder Keshawn Lynch hit a lead off triple to right field and later scored on shortstop Andy Armstrong’s groundout to short.

 

Chris Erwin (W, 3-2) went six shutout innings for the RailCats, allowing just two hits. He struck out five and walked a pair. Stephen Knapp (S, 1) entered the game with one down in the bottom of the ninth and was credited with the save.

 

Zac Reininger (L, 3-3) allowed four runs – three earned – on eight hits over 6.2 innings. He fanned five and walked one.

 

“I thought it was a pretty well thrown game by Zac. He gave up the home run on the first pitch of the game but after that he settled in,” said Winnipeg manager Logan Watkins. “I felt a bit of frustration with our offense and there were a lot of at-bats with some questionable approaches at the plate. That’s going to happen over the course of a season, but I’d like us to find a way to make some adjustments.”

 

The Goldeyes will conclude the nine-game homestand with a weekend series against the West Division leading Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks. Friday’s contest gets underway at 7:00 p.m. with righty Joey Matulovich (5-0, 1.68 ERA) starting for Winnipeg. Southpaw Tyler Grauer (3-2, 3.75 ERA) will take the mound for Fargo-Moorhead.

 

Trevor Curl will have the pregame show on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca at 6:30. The game will also be broadcast in French on L’Univers de L’Info with Yanick LaRoche handling the play-by-play. The video stream of all games is available free of charge at AABaseball.TV.

WINNIPEG, MB — The Winnipeg Goldeyes Baseball Club is proud to announce a special celebration recognizing the 100th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Legion during its home game against the Kansas City Monarchs Monday, August 24. The evening will bring together baseball fans, Legion members, veterans, military personnel and members of the community for a meaningful tribute to an organization that has supported those who have served Canada for a century. Special pre-game ceremonies will highlight the Royal Canadian Legion’s history, service and lasting impact across the country. The program will include videos representing 100 years of the Legion, tributes to Legion members and members of the Canadian Armed Forces, and a ceremonial opening pitch. The Goldeyes invite fans to arrive early and be in their seats for the pre-game presentation as Blue Cross Park recognizes the generations of Canadians who have served their country and the organization that continues to advocate for and support them. Representatives of the Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Fund will also attend the game and host an activation on the Blue Cross Park concourse. Fans will have an opportunity to learn more about the Fund, its work in communities across Canada and the important role it plays in assisting veterans and their families. The Poppy Fund provides direct support to all Canadian Veterans and their families in times of need. Donations are raised primarily through the annual Poppy Campaign, which takes place from late October through November 11. All donations to the Poppy Fund are held in trust and are used to support initiatives such as disability claim assistance, medical needs, housing support and food security. The Fund’s work helps ensure that those who have served Canada, as well as their families, can access meaningful assistance when it is needed most. “As The Royal Canadian Legion celebrates its 100th anniversary, we are thrilled to partner with the Winnipeg Goldeyes for this special commemorative game,” said Cohen Rutledge , Provincial Executive Director, the Royal Canadian Legion, Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario Provincial Command. “The Goldeyes have a wonderful tradition of bringing families and generations together, which makes this a fitting way to celebrate a century of the Legion’s service to Canada’s Veterans and communities. We look forward to welcoming Legion members, Veterans, families, and baseball fans to the ballpark on August 24 for what promises to be a memorable celebration.” The Royal Canadian Legion officially marked its 100th anniversary on July 17, 2026. The organization has deep historical ties to Winnipeg, where the movement that led to its creation began at the Marlborough Hotel in 1925. Winnipeg will also host the Royal Canadian Legion’s national Dominion Convention at the RBC Convention Centre this month. The gathering will bring Legion members and representatives from across Canada to the city and will serve as a fitting climax to the organization’s centenary celebrations. “Many members of the Goldeyes family have friends and relatives who have served or continue to serve in the Canadian Armed Forces,” said Dan Chase , the Goldeyes’ Director of Sales and Marketing. “It is our honour to recognize the Royal Canadian Legion’s 100th anniversary, pay tribute to its remarkable legacy and welcome Legion members, veterans, military personnel and their families to Blue Cross Park for an exciting evening of baseball.” The August 24 game will give Goldeyes fans and the Winnipeg community another opportunity to recognize the Legion’s century of service while enjoying professional baseball at Blue Cross Park.
