For the second straight night they defeated the Lincoln Saltdogs by a lopsided score, winning 11-6 at Shaw Park. The Fish pounded the visitors 15-10 the previous outing. The Fish proved that consistency is key. They reached 19 hits for a second-consecutive night and scored one run or more in six of the eight innings they batted. Goldeyes veteran Reggie Abercrombie is one of the many players who had a good night at the plate, going 3 for 5 with two RBIs. "(Consistency) is important because we’re going for the playoff push," Abercrombie said. "We gotta be consistent in all the games we’re coming up with. Tomorrow’s game, big. The series in Milwaukee is big. Of course, everybody knows the series in St. Paul is gonna be big — matter of fact, the rest of the season is gonna be big,." The Fish put up a big fourth inning, batting around the order and driving in six runs. In the seventh, Tyler Hill hit his fourth home run in a Goldeyes uniform. Former Goldeyes player Josh Mazzola didn’t let his appearance at Shaw Park go unnoticed. In the top of the sixth, Mazzola hit a three-run homer to left centre field. It was his first home run as a member of the Saltdogs since joining the team last month and his ninth career dinger against the Goldeyes in 35 games. Although Mazzola is no longer with the team, he still holds the Goldeyes’ all-time home run record with 90. Abercrombie is close to catching him, having hit 86 out of the park in a Goldeyes uniform. "It’s pretty good playing against Mazzola, man," Abercrombie said. "I don’t really know how many home runs I need, I didn’t even know I was close… "I’m just gonna keep on playing and try and get us in the playoffs." The third and final game of the series against the Saltdogs will be played tonight at Shaw Park, with the first pitch at 7:05 p.m. GOLDEYES DOWN ‘DOGS WINNIPEG SUN – THURSDAY, AUGUST 8th The Winnipeg Goldeyes beat the Lincoln Saltdogs 11-6 at Shaw Park on Wednesday night.
