The Winnipeg Goldeyes wrapped up their seven-game road trip with a 1-0 victory over the American Association's West Division leading Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks at Newman Outdoor Field. The Goldeyes broke the scoreless tie in the top of the eighth inning when rookie Justin Thompson hit a leadoff triple then came home one batter later on a passed ball. Tasker Strobel entered the game in tthe bottom of the inning in relief of starter Landen Bourassa and recorded the final five outs to pull into a tie for the league lead with his 14th save of the season. Strobel stranded the tying run at third base in the eighth, then benefitted from a potentially game-saving double play started by third baseman Ian Sagdal in the ninth inning before striking out Evan Alexander with runners at first and second to end the ballgame. The Fish begin a three-game weekend series against the Sioux City Explorers tonight at Shaw Park.
