In the twilight of August, the best to way to hurl yourself faster towards a playoff spot is to just keep winning. The Winnipeg Goldeyes (54-33) did exactly that Monday night by defeating the Can-Am Leagues New Jersey Jackals (47-36) 6-4 before 4,887 fans at Shaw Park. The victory, which is Winnipegs seven in their last eight games, shrunk its magic number to clinch the American Associations North Division to seven. It also maintained the Goldeyes eight-game lead over the St. Paul Saints in the North. After the Goldeyes started the scoring with single runs in the first two innings, the Jackals took a 3-0 lead, which turned out to be their only lead, with three runs on three hits in the top of the fourth inning. In the bottom of the fifth, the Goldeyes answered back. With one out, Casey Haerther doubled and Reggie Abercrombie reached base on an error by Jackals shortstop Steve Nikorak. Donnie Webb then singled in Haerther and Abercrombie scored on a sac fly from Josh Mazzola. Luis Alen finished the three-run inning with single to score Webb. The two-run lead was short lived, as Jeremy Barnes hit a lead-off home run off Goldeyes starter Matt Jackson in the top of the sixth. The Goldeyes added a run in the bottom of the eighth when Abercrombie doubled and scored a Mazzola single. From there, closer Chris Kissock locked it down in the bottom of the ninth. Abercrombie led Winnipeg at the plate with three hits, while Mazzola had a team-best two RBI. The Goldeyes actually had plenty of opportunities to extend their margin of victory, but stranded 14 men on base in the game, including at least one in every inning. Jackson battled for 5 2/3 innings to post his 10th win of the season. He gave up four runs – three were earned – and struck out two. Kissock fanned three Jackals in the ninth, and worked around a hit and an error, for his 15th save of the season. New Jersey starter Anthony Ferrara suffered the loss after giving up five runs in 4 2/3 innings.
