FARGO, N.D. – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (50-42) beat the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks 7-5 at Newman Outdoor Field on Sunday afternoon. 

Trailing 5-4 in the top of the ninth inning, the Goldeyes rallied for three two-out runs to take a 7-5 lead. Reggie Abercrombie opened the inning with a groundball, ground rule double down the right field line. Kyle Martin then walked on four pitches to put the tying and go-ahead runs on base with no outs.  Fargo-Moorhead reliever Brent Jones nearly escaped the jam by retiring the next two batters, including a deep fly to the left-centre warning track from Willy Garcia. 

However, John Price Jr. was hit by a pitch on an 0-2 count to extend the game, while Alex Perez worked a five-pitch walk to force home Abercrombie with the tying run.  Kevin Garcia hit a sharp groundball to first baseman Chris Jacobs.  The ball deflected off Jacobs’ glove to his backhand side and carried through to right.  Martin and Price scored on the error.
