WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (15-14) lost 10-3 to the Kane County Cougars at Shaw Park on Tuesday night.

Box Score

Kane County (14-15) opened the scoring in the top of the second when Jimmy Kerrigan led off with a home run to centre field.  Josh Rolette followed with a double to left-centre and later scored on a two-out wild pitch.

Winnipeg rallied for three runs in the third to take the lead.  Deon Stafford Jr. doubled to right-centre leading off and took third on a single to left from Raul Navarro.  Two batters later, Ian Sagdal ripped a double to right-centre that scored Stafford and Navarro with the tying runs.  Max Murphy made it 3-2 Goldeyes with a double down the right field line that scored Sagdal.  It was Murphy’s 400th career RBI.
