The Winnipeg Goldeyes needed three innings to cement a victory over the Chicago Dogs on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
The Fish, who ended the evening with 17 hits, drove in 10 runs in the third frame in a 14-5 beatdown over the visitors from the Windy City.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe really capitalised this time,\u201d said centre fielder Noah Marcelo \u201cWe faced a couple of pitchers (in the third), and I was in the locker room and I was almost up again \u2014 I was changing my pants because I ripped my pants. But we\u2019re just rolling right now.<\/p>\n
The Goldeyes extended their winning streak to 11 games, which ties a franchise record set in 2014.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve kind of just hit our stride now. Pitching is clicking, hitting is clicking, and the camaraderie is just great,\u201d added Marcelo.<\/p>\n
The Goldeyes improved to 38-31 which has them 2.5 games back of the Kansas City Monarchs (41-29) for top spot in the American Association\u2019s West Division.<\/p>\n
The Dogs dropped to 21-49 which is the worst record in the league.<\/p>\n
Starting pitcher Kevin Vaupel (3-5) earned the win, giving up two earned runs on five hits across six innings of work. Left-fielder Jiandido Tromp led the charge on offence with four RBI, while Marcelo and first baseman Roby Enriquez had three RBI each.<\/p>\n
Chicago starter Dominic Guzman (0-3) was handed the loss, giving up six earned runs on five hits in two innings.<\/p>\n
Winnipeg will attempt to sweep the four-game series tonight when the sides meet again at 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
