A grand slam home run and a three-run shot can do a lot of damage, especially when the two homers come in back-to-back innings. Tuesday night in front of 6,067 at Shaw Park, Wichitas Abel Nieves hit a grand slam home run in the fifth and then Jared McDonald hit a three-run bomb in the sixth, as the visiting Wingnuts blasted the Winnipeg Goldeyes 11-0. With the loss, the Goldeyes fell to 13-12 on the season and that means Wednesday afternoons game will be the rubber-match and will determine who wins this three-game series. "They (the Wingnuts) played a great baseball game," said Goldeyes manager Rick Forney. "They lifted the ball and used the elements to their advantage. They used the whole field and (starter) Jon Link was tremendous, eight innings of shutout baseball. You have to tip your cap to him. Wichita took a 1-0 lead in the first as leadoff hitter Ryan Khoury doubled, went to third on a ground out and scored on a sacrifice fly by John Rodriguez. Then, in the fifth, the Wingnuts blew it open as Jared McDonald beat out an infield hit and eventually scored on a single by Tim Rotola. Then with Khoury on first, Rotola on second and David Amberson on third, Nieves belted a grand slam home run the opposite way, over the rightfield wall. In the sixth, Cole Armstrong singled, Colt Loehrs singled and MacDonald hit his three-run homer to put the lights out on the festivities. The Wingnuts added two more runs in the seventh, just for fun, as McDonald singled home Rodriguez to pick up his fourth RBI of the night and then Amberson hit into a fielders choice and drove in CJ Ziegler. Goldeyes starting pitcher Matt Rusch (4-2, 3.93 ERA) had his worst outing of the season, allowing nine runs on nine hits, including the two backbreaking home runs, over six innings of work. The Wingnuts finished with 11 runs on 13 hits. Jon Link (5-1, 1.69 ERA) picked up the win for Wichita. Link pitched eight complete innings, scattered eight hits, struck out six and threw 117 pitches. "Jon Link was above the league," said Forney. "Thats the most dominating performance Ive seen from a pitcher in this league in seven or eight years. He had a great plan and he executed it tonight. No wonder he pitched in the majors. Tip your cap to him, he did a great job." Goldeyes slugger Josh Mazzola was ejected after striking out in the first inning. He took issue with the work of home plate umpire P.J. Krauss. Nick Liles replaced him in the lineup and finished with a pair of singles. Casey Haerthers hot bat continued to smoke as Haerther had a single and a double. In total, the Goldeyes managed eight hits. The two teams will go at it again on Wednesday morning at Shaw Park at 11 a.m. Lefty Mark Hardy (3-1, 1.99 ERA), the Canadian, will take the ball for Winnipeg while Chris Smith (2-2, 4.65 ERA) will start for Wichita.

Blank Jersey .com) - The Chicago Blackhawks aim for their third three-game winning streak of the season when they host the struggling Edmonton Oilers in Sundays battle at the United Center. Sydneys young guns are relishing the challenge of trying to crash the Matthew Pavlich party in Perth.The Dockers icon and former captain will make his 350th appearance when the Swans return to Domain Stadium for the first time since narrowly losing a qualifying final to Fremantle last September.While Fremantles fortunes have dropped dramatically since that day, Sydney have remained among the frontrunners this year despite losing plenty of experience and blooding seven debutants.Swans coach John Longmire pointed out earlier this week that around half of the team that represented his club in the 2015 finals clash in Perth wont be playing on Sunday.They will however have forward spearhead Lance Franklin, who missed that game because of a mental health issue.Buddy hasnt fared well against Fremantle and at Domain Stadium, averaging just two goals a game in both instances, well below his career averages.Several of the selected Swans side havent played there before and were just a few years old when Pavlich started his senior career.Co-captain Jarrad McVeigh returns to the Sydney team along with ruckman Toby Nannkervis, who deputises for the injured Callum Sinclair.ddddddddddddNankervis will play just his ninth senior game and will team up with the even less-experienced Sam Naismith against Zac Clarke, the sole specialist ruckman in the Dockers lineup.Pavlichs return after being rested last week is one of four changes to the side and is sure to rouse the spirits of the Dockers fans seeking some late season joy.Weve played in front of some pretty hostile crowds already this year like Geelong and Hawthorn (and won both games) so it will be pretty exciting and were really looking forward to it, said Swans forward George Hewett.Freo pride themselves on their pressure and contested ball just like us, so I imagine it will be a physical game.Coach Ross Lyon doubted Pavlichs milestone would provide a game-long spark for his side.I think theres some emotion and that initial burst of energy, but then the game finds its rhythm, Lyon said.Its unsustainable for 100 minutes, that burst of emotion.
