Shortstop\u00a0Ray-Patrick Didder\u00a0tripled to centre field, driving in first baseman\u00a0Roby Enr\u00edquez. Didder then scored on catcher\u00a0Kevin Garc\u00eda\u2019s sacrifice fly to centre, making it 3-0.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nIn the sixth, Murphy blooped a single to right field that brought second baseman\u00a0Keshawn Lynch\u00a0in, giving Winnipeg a four-run cushion.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nSioux City (10-13) 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\u2019 lead to 4-2.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nIn the top of the ninth, Good crossed the plate on centre fielder Austin Davis\u2019 ground out to third base as the Explorers pulled to within one, with the tying run at second base and two out. However, the next batter, third baseman Zac Vooletich, lined out to end the ballgame.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nMitchell Lambson\u00a0(W, 2-3) went 6 and 2\/3 innings for the Goldeyes, allowing two runs on seven hits.
