doing well and we didnt want to get him out of rhy

A good thing came to an end for the Winnipeg Goldeyes Tuesday night and Sioux City Explorers pitcher Patrick Johnson is largely to blame. The Goldeyes struck out 11 times at the hands of Johnson and had their franchise record 11-game winning streak end with a 2-1 loss to the Explorers before 5,010 fans at Shaw Park. The loss shrinks Winnipegs lead in the American Associations North Division to 8 1/2 games. "Johnson pitched a hell of a ballgame today," Goldeyes manager Rick Forney said. "At this level, you usually dont see that kind of arm speed and velocity. It was a good match up (for him) with that umpire (Nick Gonzalez). That umpire calls a high strike and its tough to catch up to when you dont see it all the time and have to guard against three other pitches. We were overmatched by this guy." Sioux City started the scoring in the top of the third inning. After Tommy Mendonca led off the with a triple, he scored on a two-out single by Oscar Mesa. Winnipeg had a golden opportunity to take the lead in the bottom of the fourth, but the Goldeyes left the bases loaded when Reggie Abercrombie struck out. "If we could have cashed our chips in the fourth inning, it would have been a totally different ballgame," Forney said. Winnipeg finally tied the game in the bottom of the eighth inning. Ryan Pineda led off with a single, went to second on a bunt by Tyler Kuhn, stole third and scored on a Josh Mazzola sac fly. The tie didnt last long, though. Former Goldeyes infielder Amos Ramon hit an RBI single the top of the ninth inning off Chris Kissock to regain the lead for the Explorers. "We were fortunate to get out of (the top of the ninth) with only giving up one run, but unfortunately that one run was enough for them to win the ballgame," Forney said. Kuhn was the only Goldeyes player to register a hit in the game. In fact, five Goldeyes didnt register a hit in the game, including Casey Haerther, whose 17-game hitting streak also came to an end. Goldeyes starter Chris Salamida posted his third consecutive quality start, allowing just one run in seven innings of work. He struck out seven and walked just one in a no-decision. Johnson picked up the win for Sioux City, while Kissock suffered the loss for Winnipeg. The second game of the three-game series goes Wednesday night at Shaw Park. American Association win-leader Matt Jackson (7-2, 2.83) will face Sioux Citys John Straka (4-4, 3.12).

Nike Air Huarache 2020 Günstig .com) - Whew! North Dakota States reign as the three-time FCS national champion was pushed to the limit by South Dakota State on Saturday, but freshman R.Josh Neiswander is getting a leg up on the competition and is becoming a serious heir apparent to Anthony Calvillo at the quarterback position. “The more game experience he gets, hes going to get better,” offensive tackle Jeff Perrett said after the Alouettes 17-12 win against Saskatchewan on Sunday. Neiswander was head coach and GM Jim Popps first choice to replace Anthony Calvillo after A.C.s concussion in Saskatchewan on August 17. He started the next game at home against B.C. but threw an early pick and was only 1-3 before being replaced by Tanner Marsh. Marsh was easily the fans choice to be under centre the rest of the way with his gun-slinging style and dramatic flair. However its been two games in a row with no interceptions for Neiswander, which is something Marsh has never done: he has eight interceptions and only three starts as Montreals QB this year. Neiswander has turned into the teams default quarterback with Calvillo and now Marsh on the 9-game injury list. Its been a full rotation at the position all season long for the Alouettes: from Calviilo to Neiswander to Marsh back to Neiswander. One has to wonder when itll be former Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smiths turn. “We wanted to pllay him more than we did, but Josh was doing well and we didnt want to get him out of rhythm,” Popp said following Sundays game whereafter Smith got only two plays under centre.dddddddddddd Smith threw his first CFL pass and completion against the Roughriders Sunday – a 54 yarder – before Jerome Messam fumbled a couple yards from the end zone. Smith fumbled on his other snap. With all the changes, one can only wonder about creating any chemistry between quarterback and receiver. “As far as chemistry with Josh, I think at this point the receiving corps is ready to get chemistry with anybody. Whether its Troy, whether its Marsh who comes back or even the new guy that came in, as far as Sidewinder(Neiswander)he found a way to get us a win,” veteran receiver Arland Bruce III said of Montreals QB situation. Winning will help anyone secure their spot behind centre. If Anthony Calvillo comes back from his concussion this season or not, no one can predict his future with the Alouettes. The 2014 season is a long way away but the competition for the “next guy” has already begun between Neiswander, Marsh and Smith. Lucky for Neiswander, hes the one with the ball. ' ' '
