  • On a night when the Winnipeg Goldeyes pitching staff struggled to throw strikes, it was almost fitting that the winning run was scored on a wild pitch. St. Paul Saints right-fielder Jose Hernandez scored a wild pitch in the bottom of the eighth inning off reliever Craig James, as the Goldeyes fell 7-6 to the Saints Monday night at Midway Stadium in front of 2,525 fans. Winnipegs pitching walked seven Saints batters, which accounted for a pair of runs, allowed the one run on the wild pitch and hit a batter. The Goldeyes struck for two runs in the first inning when Price Kendall scored from second on a Jon Weber single and Yurendell de Caster counted off a Matt Cusick single. Winnipeg extended its lead to 5-0 in the fourth inning, as Kendall cleared the loaded bases with a triple to right-centre field after Cusick reached on a double and Josh Mazzola and Chris Roberson drew a pair of walks. "I was battling and got a pitch over the plate," Kendall said. "I stayed on it pretty well and found the gap. "Its taken a while, but I finally felt much better at the plate today. Its definitely coming around." It was Kendalls first hit in 10 at bats in the four pre-season games against the Saints. St. Paul replied in the bottom of the fourth inning. Benji Johnson hit a two-run homer off Goldeyes starter Chris Salamida to get the Saints on the board, followed by Alex Garabedian and Adam Frost scoring on a Hernandez single. The Saints took the lead an inning later. Tanner Townsend scored on a Garabedian single to tie it and then Johnson gave St. Paul a 6-5 lead on an Adam Frost sac fly. The Goldeyes grinded out a run in the eighth inning to tie the game. Ridge Carpenter went to first after he was hit by a pitch, moved to second on a wild pitch, got to third on a Luis Alen ground ball and then scored via a sac fly from Cusick.
