Tied at 5-5 in the bottom of the eighth, the Explorers took their first lead of the night when Nate Samson hit a bloop single down the right field line with the bases loaded and one out. Brandon Bingel relieved Marcus Crescentini and kept the Goldeyes within one run with a spectacular defensive play. With the bases still loaded, Jose Sermo struck a hard line drive that knocked Bingel’s glove off of his left hand. However, Bingel still managed to secure the ball barehanded against his chest for the out before throwing to first base to double off Samson. Matt Pobereyko pitched a perfect top of the ninth inning to earn his 11th save of the year. The Goldeyes jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first.

After wiping out deficits of 3-0 and 5-3, the Explorers claimed a 6-5 victory after all-star shortstop Nate Samson blooped an RBI single in the eighth inning for his third hit of the night. Collecting base hits in all eight innings they batted, the X’s won for the 11th time in their last 12 games, grabbing a half-game lead in American Association baseball’s six-team South Division. Sioux City, seeking its fourth division title in five years, is now 20-17 after winning just nine of its first 25 games, while Kansas City moved up to sole possession of second place at 19-17. Lincoln dropped out of a tie for the division lead, slipping to 19-18 and Sioux Falls fell to fourth as a sixth consecutive loss left the Canaries at 18-18. “It’s a huge series for us right now, especially losing three out of four in Winnipeg,’’ said Samson, whose teammates lost three one-run decisions in Winnipeg in early June before salvaging the finale to a four-game series. “We’re trying to make a push and separate ourselves (from the rest of the division).’’ Winnipeg reliever Marcus Crescentini walked the first three batters in the bottom of the eighth before Samson’s looping fly ball down the right-field line dropped in for the go-ahead run. “It’s the Sioux City of old, you know?’’ said Samson, whose teammates rallied from a 6-0 first-inning deficit to post a 7-6 win earlier this season. X’s starter Max Duval got off to a horrendous start, failing to retire any of the first four batters in a first inning that saw the Goldeyes score three times with a big helping hand from three bases on balls. Alex Perez started it off with a four-pitch walk and newly acquired Tyler Hill sent the second pitch he saw over the left-field wall for a quick 2-0 lead. Duval surrendered two walks and a base hit while retiring only one of the next four batters. So, he was fortunate to get out of the inning with a 3-0 deficit on Wes Darvill’s sacrifice fly. The hosts got one run back in the bottom of the first after Kyle Wren drew a leadoff walk, stole second base and moved to third in an errant throw. Two batters later, Nate Samson’s base hit drove Wren home. One out into the home half of the second, the Explorers put four straight runners on base with two singles and a pair of walks off Winnipeg’s Parker French. Sebastian Zawada, the fourth batter of the inning, singled home one run and then Kyle Wren beat a double play relay to knot the score at 3-3. After settling down to retire nine of 10 batters in three scoreless innings, Duval gave up a one-out double to Hill in the fifth inning and then a two-out homer to Dominic Ficociello to give the guests a 5-3 advantage.
