Fish hooks: GOLD­EYES 5 JOLI­ET 3

The Winnipeg Goldeyes got a gem from their starter and a grand slam from their third baseman en route to a 5-3 victory over the Joliet JackHammers before a crowd of 5,422 at Canwest Park Monday night.

Fish starter Bill Pulsipher scattered seven hits and gave up three runs over eight­plus innings, striking out eight, walking one and throwing an economical 105 pitches. Pulsipher improves to 4-1 with the victory and will almost certainly be the Goldeyes Game 1 starter when the Northern League playoffs begin next week.

Fish third baseman Vince Harrison was the offensive star of the game. With the Goldeyes trailing 1-0, Harrison walked to the plate in the fourth inning with the bases loaded and belted a home run over the left-centre field fence. Four RBI, a run scored and a double to go with that grand slam.

The Fish and Jackhammers play the second of a three-game series at Canwest Park tonight at 7 p.m.
