GOLDEYES STAGE COMEBACK AGAINST RAILROADERS WINNIPEG SUN – SATURDAY, JUNE 8th The Winnipeg Goldeyes overcame a 6-2 deficit in the later innings to win 8-6 over the Cleburne Railroaders at Shaw Park on Friday. Trailing by four runs in the seventh, Alex Perez’s single led to an error by centre fielder Zach Nehrir that allowed Dominic Ficociello to score. Kevin Garcia followed with a two-run home run that cut the Railroaders’ lead to 6-5. After Marcus Crescentini worked a perfect top of the eighth, Reggie Abercrombie singled home the tying run in the bottom of the inning. With first and second and two outs, Garcia ripped a groundball to third that was knocked down by a diving KC Huth. Huth’s throw to first, however, sailed into foul territory and ultimately led to both Abercrombie and Perez crossing the plate. Victor Capellan pitched a scoreless top of the ninth to earn his league-leading eighth save of 2019. It was also Capellan’s 37th save as a Goldeye, tying the franchise record established by Steve Thomas in 2003. Cleburne jumped on the board first on a two-out, solo homer from John Nester in the second. Huth homered leading off the third, and the Railroaders made it 3-0 later in the inning on a two-out single from Kenny Meimerstorf. A Kyle Martin RBI single and a wild pitch in the bottom of the fourth made it a one-run game before Huth hit a three-run shot in the top of the sixth. WP: Crescentini (3-0) LP: Shenefield (0-2) SV: Capellan (8) HR: WIN K. Garcia (3)…CLE Huth 2 (3), Nester (2) THE SKINNY: The Goldeyes posted their fourth late-inning comeback in the last seven days, beating the Cleburne Railroaders 8-6 in the opener of a three-game series. PLAYER OF THE GAME: Catcher Kevin Garcia cracked a two-run home run in the seventh that pulled Winnipeg within 6-5, and his infield single in the eighth produced what proved to be the winning runs. PLAY OF THE GAME: Cleburne’s Zach Nehrir, who posted the highest defensive wins above replacement value among American Association outfielders in 2018, robbed Dominic Ficociello of extra bases with a running catch in dead centre field in the bottom of the eighth. UP NEXT: Game two of the three-game series is Saturday evening at 6:05 p.m. Winnipegger Ryan Johnson makes his third career start opposite Cleburne right-hander Jesus Sanchez. The game can be heard on 93.7 FM. GOLDEYES RALLY LATE AGAIN STEVE SCHUSTER – WINNIPEG GOLDEYES – FRIDAY, JUNE 7th WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (14-7) beat the Cleburne Railroaders 8-6 at Shaw Park on Friday night. Trailing 6-2 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Dominic Ficociello battled Railroaders’ starter Charles Gillies for 10 pitches before reaching on a leadoff error charged to first baseman Jonathan Rodriguez. A wild pitch moved Ficociello to second base. Alex Perez lined a single to centre, and Ficociello came home when the ball was bobbled by Zach Nehrir. On the next pitch, Kevin Garcia ripped a two-run home run to right that pulled the Goldeyes within 6-5. After Marcus Crescentini pitched a perfect top of the eighth, the Goldeyes rallied for three more runs in the bottom half to take their first lead of the night. Willy Garcia drew a leadoff walk. Two batters later, Garcia took second on a passed, ball, third on a wild pitch, and scored the tying run when Reggie Abercrombie chopped a single to left over a drawn in Railroaders’ infield. Ficociello was robbed on a long drive to centre when Nehrir made a sprinting catch for the second out of the inning. Abercrombie then stole second base before Perez walked on a full count. Kevin Garcia ripped a groundball to third that was stopped by a diving KC Huth. Huth’s ensuing throw to first went into foul territory and allowed Abercrombie to score the go- ahead run. Rodriguez then made a wild throw to second on the same play that allowed Perez to score the Goldeyes’ eighth run. Victor Capellan struck out two during a scoreless top of the ninth to earn his eighth save of the year. It was Capellan’s 37th save since joining the Goldeyes in 2016, which ties him with Steve Thomas (2001-03) for the franchise’s all-time record. Crescentini (3-0) earned the win in relief, while Hayden Shenefield (0-2) took the loss for Cleburne. The Railroaders took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second when John Nester lifted a two-out, solo home run to left-centre. In the top of the third, Huth led off with a solo shot to left. Later in the inning, Kenny Meimerstorf hit a two-out, RBI single that scored Nehrir to make it 3- 0. The Goldeyes cut the deficit to 3-2 with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth. Josh Romanski singled to centre leading off and took third when Willy Garcia doubled down the left field line. Kyle Martin singled home Romanski, while Garcia scored on a wild pitch. The Railroaders re-extended their lead to 6-2 in the top of the sixth on a two-out, three-run homer down the left field line from Huth.
