Goldeyes take game three against Monarchs 11-6

With the Winnipeg Goldeyes and Kansas City Monarchs 1-1 in the series, tensions were high for game three – both sides eager for the win.

Pitcher Aidan Newton had a rough start with the Monarchs first batter hitting a double and the second batter hitting a homer in the first inning – Kansas City taking the lead early, 2-0.

Roby Enríquez decided to change that in the bottom of the second, hitting a double line drive to center field with Raphaël Pelletier and Max Murphy running home. Enríquez crossed home plate himself after a single from Peyton Holt, taking the lead 3-2.

From there, the Fish continued to climb the ladder. Designated hitter Noah Marcelo hit a triple where Ray-Patrick Didder was able to run from first base to home plate.

Max Murphy scored a run off a sacrifice fly, pushing their score to 5-2 in the bottom of the fourth.

The Monarchs scored a run in the fifth, but Marcelo did them one better, hitting a double ground ball to left field sending Ramón Bramasco home.

The Goldeyes loaded up the bases in the seventh inning more than once, resulting in three more runs. They ultimately took home the win, 11-6.

The final game of the series will take place Aug. 27, 6:30pm at Blue Cross Park.
