TERRIFIC PITCHING PREVAILS AGAIN AS 'DOGS WIN SERIES

LINCOLN – For the second straight game Saltdogs pitchers held Winnipeg scoreless over the final eight frames as Lincoln edged the Goldeyes 2-1 in front of 4,635 fans at Haymarket Park Sunday evening.

Jino Gonzalez (6-0) allowed just one run in the first, going seven innings to earn the victory. Gonzalez at one point retired 13 consecutive Winnipeg hitters.

Curt Smith smashed an RBI double to deep left center to even the score in bottom of the first before Jorge Cortes singled him in to give the Saltdogs the 2-1 lead, and end the game’s scoring.

The Goldeyes loaded the bases with nobody out in the seventh but were unable to score, and stranded seven runners on base over the final three innings.

Santo Luis worked a hitless eighth and PJ Zocchi spun a scoreless ninth for his 20^th save of the year.

Isaac Hess (7-4) allowed two runs on five hits over six innings to suffer the loss.

Saltdogs hurlers allowed just three earned runs in 33 innings over the weekend, taking two out of three from one of the league’s best clubs to vault themselves to within 1 ½ games of the wildcard spot.

All three games were decided by one run, and two of them went extra innings as the ‘Dogs won two of three.

Lincoln is off Monday and begins the season-ending eight-game road trip Tuesday night at 7:10 p.m. against Gary SouthShore. Alex Maestri is scheduled to take the hill. Radio coverage begins at 6:40 p.m. on KFOR 1240.
