\nWinnipeg took a 2-0 lead in the first inning when designated hitter\u00a0Keshawn Lynch\u00a0doubled into the left-field corner, scoring third baseman\u00a0Ram\u00f3n Bramasco\u00a0and second baseman\u00a0Adam Hall.<\/p>\n

\nRight fielder\u00a0Max Murphy\u00a0brought Lynch home with a base hit to left in the bottom of the sixth to give the Goldeyes a three-run cushion. The RailCats made it a two-run game shortly thereafter when centre fielder Korry Howell hit a solo home run to right-centre in the top of the seventh.
\n\u00a0
\nWinnipeg scored four times in the bottom of the frame to take an 8-2 lead. Bramasco\u2019s bloop single to right-centre drove in left fielder\u00a0Roby Enr\u00edquez. Marcelo lined a base hit to left-centre to plate Didder, and Hall singled up the middle to bring in Bramasco and Marcelo.
