Sioux City Rallies to Beat Goldeyes
WINNIPEG, MB – The Sioux City Explorers (10-12) erased an early four-run deficit and defeated the Winnipeg Goldeyes 7-4 at Blue Cross Park Saturday evening.
Winnipeg (9-12) right fielder Max Murphy got the scoring started in the bottom of the first inning with an infield single that drove in third baseman Ramón Bramasco. A batter later, designated hitter Roby Enríquez grounded out to second base, allowing left fielder Jiandido Tromp to cross the plate and it was quickly 2-0 Goldeyes.
Two innings later, the Goldeyes increased their lead to 4-0 when second baseman Keshawn Lynch doubled down the left field line to drive in Tromp and Murphy.
Sioux City finally broke through in the fifth, tying the game at 4-4. Third baseman Zac Vooletich doubled to left field to bring in shortstop Elliot Good and left fielder Henry George. The next hitter, first baseman Alberto Osuna hit a two-run home run to left.
The Explorers added three more runs in the top of the sixth inning. Catcher Dillon Tatum led off with a home run to left, right fielder Jackson Mayo came in on Vooletich’s single to centre, and Osuna drew a bases-loaded walk that scored Good to make it 7-4.
Sioux City starter Reed Butz (W, 2-1) allowed four runs – all earned – on six hits over five innings. He walked two and struck out two. Tahnaj Thomas (S, 1) pitched around a one-out walk to keep the Winnipeg bats silent in the ninth.
Ryo Kohigashi started for the Goldeyes and gave up just three hits in four innings of work. He struck out six and walked one. Jack Seward and Tasker Strobel (L, 1-1) appeared in relief. Strobel gave up three runs on six hits in four innings, striking out five and issuing one free pass.
