| Winnipeg Goldeyes @ Manhattan Gas Hornets | |
|---|---|
| Preview |
Winnipeg (19-12, T2 NL West) comes to Manhattan (15-16, T2 NL East).
Teams fighting to establish where they’ll be this year. Manhattan is a bit so-so, Goldeyes, well, they could be really good. |
| Game #1: |
Gas Hornets get 1 in the 1st – Buhner ties it up in the 4th on a ground out. But the old Gas Hornet combo McReynolds and Yount get the go ahead run in the 7th. Jones is able to make it stick as Reed goes to 3-0 in his 3rd start. Low hit totals for both teams.
WGE 1-4-0 LP Candiotti (3-2) MGH 2-5-1 WP Reed (3-0) S D.Jones (5) |
| Game #2: |
McGwire pounds out 2 hits, both homers (7, 8) both for 2 runs including 1 in the 1st as the Goldeyes drive Pichardo to the showers in the 5th (10 hits, 6 runs). McGwires 4 rbis lead the way. Benes goes 8 strong (6 hits, 1 run).
WGE 6-12-0 WP Benes (5-1) MGH 1- 7-1 LP Pichardo (2-2) – Benes has that look of the surprise quality pitcher for the year. |
| Game #3: |
This game seemingly belonged to Bobby Witt as he goes the distance giving up 7 hits and no runs. Walker homers (2) in support and Santiago drives in 2.
WGE 0-7-1 LP Schilling (4-3) MGH 5-9-0 WP Witt (2-3) |
| Game #5: | McGwire hits a 1st inning grand slam (9) to get the Goldeyes off to a 4-0 lead. The inning was also marked by 3 Bullinger walks. He ends up walking 7. BUT Bullinger was drafted not so much for his pitching (he will get lots of fill-in starts), but for his hitting. After the 1st, he settled down and then he got 2 hits. The first an rbi single, the 2nd a 2 run homer (1) to lead the offense with 3 rbis. The Gas Hornets turned around that 4-0 1st inning deficit by scoring 3 in the 2nd and then 2 runs in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th. By the time the dust settled, the final was 10-5 Manhattan. Bullinger gives up 3 hits – 5 RUNS – 7 WALKS and wins the game. WGE 5- 5-1 LP Glavine (1-4) MGH 10-13-0 WP Bullinger (1-1) |
| Game #5: | Gas Hornets score 3 in the 1st and then work the Polonia (3 hits) and Kelly (4 hits) combo throughout the game. Goldeyes score 2 in the 4th to draw to 3-2, but that was as close as it would get as Manhattan gets 1 in the 4th, 2 in 5th and 6th. Walker drives in 3. Jackson hammered for 10 hits in 5 innings to go with 3 walks and it cost them 7 runs (2 unearned on a Buhner error. He leaves game later when hit by a pitch, but will be ready for the next series. WGE 3- 7-1 LP Jackson (1-2) MGH 8-13-0 WP Stewart (3-4) |
| Summary |
Manhattan surprisingly takes 4 of 5 from Winnipeg. They hope to carry on that energy next week, but face a real tough them in the Long Beach Titans. Winnipeg stays in the East to face division leader Valdosta.
