Posted September 5, 20177 yr comment_288723 The regular season ended with an 8-3 win over Fargo keeping the RedHawks out of the postseason. Muhahaha! The North division champion Goldeyes will take on the Lincoln Saltdogs, the Central division champions. The best-of-five series goes Wednesday and Thursday in Nebraska, then returns to Shaw Park for the duration starting Saturday. Gary will take on South division champion Wichita in the other semi-final.

Shairon Martis, a veteran pitcher who has previously played for both the Washington Nationals and the Minnesota Twins, will take the ball for the hometown Saltdogs. All tickets, regardless of section, are being sold at the discount price of $7 – and those in attendance will enjoy "Buck Night" prices of just $1 on select beer, along with hot dogs and popcorn. $1 beer. God bless America. Here's any liquor is min $2.5 cause some drunk took a flyer off a bridge. Edited September 6, 20177 yr by FrostyWinnipeg

September 13, 20177 yr comment_290886 I went to the Goldeyes game Sunday afternoon...it was a fun game... kind of a crazy but thrilling end to the game... I'll describe how it went down in a little more detail for those interested, started at top of nine: Top 9: Goldeyes up 8-6... closing pitcher in the game... comes in a throws 2 heaters across the plate to go ahead 2-0 in the count and things are looking good... then pitch three, crack, gone... 8-7 Goldeyes... a few more hits and an error later and the salts have added 2 more and suddenly the fish are down 9-8 going into the bottom of nine... Bottom 9: First batter singles to get it started... second batter also a single to put runners at 1 and 2... third batter lays a nice bunt down the 3rd base line for the sacrifice to advance the runners to 2 and 3, one out.... next batter is intentionally walked to load the bases with one out... next batter - 4 straight balls... tying run walks across the plate... final batter of the day watches the first pitch, ball... then another... then another... finally the Saltdogs pull their pitcher for a different guy... what a situation to walk into: bottom of the ninth, tie game, bases loaded, one out, and down in the count 3 balls to zero strikes... his first pitch goes right into the dirt and the 3,500 people at Shaw Park go crazy as the Goldeyes win on a the classic walk-off walk... Was a fun game to be at... hoping to catch one of the games in the finals but it will likely have to be game 5 since I'll be out of town this weekend...
