News » State won both regular season games,

A night ago, the Winnipeg Goldeyes relied on their deep batting order to score 18 runs. Friday night, the Goldeyes relied on their deep pitching staff to allow just one run. Four pitchers combined to lead the Goldeyes to a 4-1 win over the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks before 5,227 fans at Newman Outdoor Field on Independence Day in America. The win stretches Winnipegs lead to eight games in the American Associations North Division over the RedHawks. The Goldeyes have also won nine in a row and 13 of their last 15 games. Luis Alen opened the scoring for Winnipeg when he singled in Donnie Webb from second in the top of the fourth inning to give the Goldeyes a 1-0 lead. After Goldeyes starter Matt Jackson struck out Ronnie Bourquin looking with runners on the corners in the bottom of the fourth, Casey Haerther hit a solo home run in the top of the fifth to double Winnipegs lead. It was Haerthers third home run in his last six games. Jackson struck out Brandon Newton in a steady rain to end the fifth, but from there the game was delayed by 1:09 due to the rain. Following a scoreless sixth inning, the RedHawks finally got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the seventh inning. C.J. Retherford drew a walk and subsequently went to third on a double by Ronnie Bourquin. Kaohi Downing came in from Winnipegs bullpen in relief of Jackson and Fargo catcher Petey Paramore hit at the first pitch he saw for a single to score Retherford. However, a great thrown by Donnie Webb from right field beat Bourquin to home plate by 10 feet and kept Winnipeg in front. Brendan Lafferty came in for the final two outs of the bottom of the seventh, including a strikeout of Anthony Kaskadden with runners on first and second to end the threat. In the top of the eighth, the Goldeyes gave themselves a cushion with RBI singles from Brock Bond and Alen. The lead could have been even bigger, but Webb, who led off with a walk, was caught stealing at second. It didnt matter though, as Lafferty struck out three more in the bottom of the eighth and Chris Kissock pitched a 1-2-3 bottom of the ninth to earn his 11th save of the season. Its also Kissocks sixth save in his last seven outings. Jackson picked up the win for the Goldeyes for his league-best seventh victory of the season. Fargo starter Curtis Camilli suffered the loss in his RedHawks debut. At the plate, Haerther increased his lead in the leagues batting race by going three-for-four to up his batting average to .416 on the season. Alen added two RBI. The second game of the series goes Saturday night in Fargo. Winnipeg will send Chandler Barnard (2-0, 2.29) to the mound against the RedHawks Jake Laber (6-2, 4.10).

Reyes, 26, was traded from Atlanta to Toronto in July 2010 and spent the remainder of the season in the minors. He began 2011 in the majors and made 20 starts with the Blue Jays, going 5-8 with a 5.40 earned run average before he was waived on Aug.On Thursday, LeBron James and Steph Curry battle it out once again for an NBA ring. Last year, Currys Golden State Warriors beat James Cleveland Cavaliers 4-2 in a cracking contest, and this year promises to be equally fun. Our resident US sportswriter Alex Ferguson has your preview…. How do the NBA Finals work?Its a best-of-seven series, which means the first to four wins will claim the 2016 NBA Championship.The team with home court advantage should the series go to a final game (which we are all hoping it will) is Golden State, thanks to their record-breaking regular season record. If it goes that far, the seven games will be spread over 17 days, which adds recovery time (as well non-stop commentary, we should think!).Who won the last time they met? Golden State won both regular season games, one by six points and one by 132-98, in which Warriors coach Steve Kerr refused to call the dogs off… or LeBron and team stopped playing. You decide which.You know LeBron will be thirsting for revenge, while Curry & Co will be equally excited about continuing the dethroning of King James.Who are the Warriors key men? Steph Curry and Klay Thompson basically wiped away the Oklahoma City Thunders hopes of a Game 7 victory in the Western Conference Finals by blitzing them with three-pointers in the third quarter, winning the period 29-12.They hit SEVENTEEN in total. Oh, and Draymond Green is going to be defensively powerful, as will Andre Iguodala. But the biggest weapon for the Warriors isnt exactly defence - it is punishing teams that miss. Because the Warriors dont miss very often, and when they are hot, they are scalding.And the for the Cavaliers? For Cleveland, its not only LeBrons world. JR Smith, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving - have both been models of efficiency, and will have to do the same to the Warriors. We know what damage they can do from tthree-point range.ddddddddddddJames and Love will both be key defensively - as will Tristan Thompson. All of them will not only have to negate three-pointers being thrown from Curry and Thompson, but also Green in the paint. And as weve seen with Green, he doesnt play very nicely, either. Another key point is that Irving and Love will be available for the Cavs. Irving only played in Game 1 of the Finals last year while Love missed out entirely - and both were sorely missed.Why will Golden State win again?Because after struggling in the first half against Oklahoma City, the Warriors found their mojo and were virtually untouchable.That mojo is going to continue and James & Co may be unable to deal with it. Love and Irving might be consistent at the moment, but they wont have played under quite the pressure that they will when they face Golden States offence.Can Cleveland win?First of all, Cleveland has got the thirst. They have lost the last four games to Golden State - including two in the NBA Finals - and the last one was an absolute rout.Say what you want about Curry, LeBrons still the best all-round player in the game from both ends of the court. The Cavs have a three-headed monster in James, Love and Irving that lost two straight at Toronto after looking like they would cruise to a 4-0 victory, and then rebounded to win the next two.They have also got Smith, who is shooting as well as any Splash Brother at the moment - he leads all players in NBA three-point efficiency during the play-offs - and they can play defence.OK, so who will win?I am going to go for Cleveland in six games, setting up a great rivalry! Cleveland are a 7/4 underdog, by the way - and Golden State a massive 4/9 favourite. Also See: Warriors advance to NBA finals Cavaliers end Raptors dream ' ' '
