SIOUX FALLS, SD – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (32-45) were one strike away from making history at Sioux Falls Stadium Thursday evening, only to suffer a heartbreaking 3-1, 11th inning loss to the Sioux Falls Canaries (44-34).
After Goldeyes starter James Bradwell, and Ryder Yakel combined to no-hit Sioux Falls through 10.2 innings, the league’s all-time home run record holder Jabari Henry hit a three-run shot to right field on a 3-2 pitch to end the ballgame.
Winnipeg had taken a 1-0 lead in the top of the eleventh on a Kevin García sacrifice fly to centre field that brought in courtesy runner Matthew Warkentin.
Bradwell went nine innings, striking out four and walking five. He threw 111 pitches. Yakel (L, 2-4) pitched the final 1.2 frames, allowing three runs – two earned – on one hit. He fanned one and walked one.
Will Levine (W, 2-0) entered in the tenth for Sioux Falls and surrendered an unearned run without giving up a hit. He struck out one batter.
The Goldeyes return home to Blue Cross Park Friday at 7:00 p.m. to face the Lincoln Saltdogs in the first of a three-game series. Winnipeg will send righty Luke Boyd (3-8, 4.22 ERA) to the hill, while Lincoln is expected to start Dylan Castaneda (2-4, 4.39 ERA).
