WINNIPEG, MAN. – The Winnipeg Goldeyes avoided a series sweep with a 4-3 victory over the Sioux City Explorers at Blue Cross Park Sunday afternoon.
After the first three innings were scoreless, Winnipeg took a 1-0 lead in the fourth when right fielder Max Murphy reached on a fielding error with two outs, allowing centre fielder Noah Marcelo to come home.
The Goldeyes added two more in the fifth. Shortstop Ray-Patrick Didder tripled to centre field, driving in first baseman Roby Enríquez. Didder then scored on catcher Kevin García’s sacrifice fly to centre, making it 3-0.
In the sixth, Murphy blooped a single to right field that brought second baseman Keshawn Lynch in, giving Winnipeg a four-run cushion.
Sioux City first baseman Alberto Osuna led off the seventh inning with a home run to left, and shortstop Elliot Good later singled home designated hitter Zane Denton to cut the Goldeyes’ lead to 4-2.
In the top of the ninth, Good crossed the plate on centre fielder Austin Davis’ ground out to third base as the Explorers pulled to within one, with the tying run at second base and two outs. However, the next batter, third baseman Zac Vooletich, lined out to end the ballgame.
Mitchell Lambson went 6 2/3 innings for the Goldeyes, allowing two runs on seven hits, to earn the win. He struck out a pair and walked three. Quinn Waterhouse and Derrick Cherry appeared in relief.
Josh Landry pitched 5 1/3 innings for Sioux City, allowing four runs – three earned – on seven hits. He walked one and struck out two.
Winnipeg announced two roster moves Sunday. Infielder/outfielder Adam Hall (London, Ont.) was placed on the Injured List, retroactive to June 3. Hall was removed from the June 2 game vs. Sioux Falls after being injured.
Secondly, right-handed relief pitcher Dominic Hambley was acquired from the Kansas City Monarchs in exchange for a player to be named later. The Victoria, B.C., native appeared in six games with Kansas City this season, posting an 0-1 record with a 6.75 earned run average. The 23-year-old was chosen by the Chicago Cubs in the 18th round of the 2021 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Belmont High School in Victoria.
The Goldeyes continue their season-long, 10-game homestand with three games against the Cleburne Railroaders beginning Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. Right-hander Arij Fransen is expected to start for Winnipeg, with Cleburne expected to go with lefty Luke Short.
