The Winnipeg Goldeyes were pretty good when it mattered. Saturday night, they were even better when it didnt. Despite a 62-minute rain delay between the third and fourth innings, the Goldeyes won their eighth straight game, a 12-6 victory, over the Sioux Falls Canaries on a wet, chilly evening at Shaw Park. With the win, the Goldeyes improved to 59-33 on the season. They also guaranteed themselves a series win over Sioux Falls – their 16th series victory of the season. With a win over the Canaries on Sunday, the Goldeyes will record their ninth sweep of the season. "This is a good team that plays really good baseball," said Goldeyes manager Rick Forney. "And theyre playing pretty good baseball right now. Yeah, we were able to clinch a playoff berth (on Friday night) but were not going to change anything down the stretch. Were just going to keep playing good baseball." Before the rain delay, the Goldeyes built a 6-0 lead. In the first inning, Brock Bond walked, went to second on a single by Tyler Kuhn and both Bond and Kuhn scored on a double by Casey Haerther. In the second, Ryan Pineda led off with a single, Jordan Guida was safe on an error sending Pineda to second. Jake Blackwood drove in both runners with a double and then Blackwood scored on a single by Tyler Kuhn. Then, in the third, Pineda walked, went to second on a single by Bond and scored on a single Blackwood. However, after the rain, things got dicey. In the top of the fifth, the Canaries put up a four spot, but the Goldeyes still led 6-4 and starter Matt Jackson had worked enough innings to be the pitcher-of-record. And thats when the Goldeyes showed they had Jacksons back. The Fish made it 8-4 in the seventh when Josh Mazzola led off with a double and Ryan Pineda doubled to drive him home. Pineda eventually scored on a wild pitch and the Goldeyes had a four-run lead. Winnipeg blew it open with four in the eighth when Bond singled, Blackwood walked, both runners moved up on a balk and Bond scored on a single by Tyler Kuhn. Blackwood scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Haerther and then Kuhn scored in front of Reggie Abercrombie after Abercrombie hit a middle-in, thigh-high fastball over the left field wall for his 17th home run of the season. Sioux Falls added a run in the eighth and Chris Duffy hit a solo homer in the ninth, but it was too little and way too late. Jackson (11-6, 4.21 ERA) got the victory, while Sioux Falls starter Kyle Vazquez (5-8, 5.51 ERA) took the loss. The Goldeyes finished with 12 runs on 15 hits, while Sioux Falls had six runs on 13 scattered hits. The Goldeyes and Canaries will play Game 4 of this four-game series on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. Joe Bircher (3-7, 4.26 ERA) will get the start for the visitors, while Ethan Hollingsworth (7-1, 3.63 ERA) will take to the bump for the home side.

I fancy Millwall strongly to win the play-offs. Neil Harris is leading a fresh young team into a new era and hes done a brilliant job Ollie on Millwall However, over two legs, Millwall should have enough firepower in Lee Gregory and Steve Morison to get the job done.

On their day, they can wipe the floor with anyone.This is a tough test for Hull, who Im shocked didnt finish in the top two.
