The Winnipeg Goldeyes dropped a 6-3 decision to the Gary SouthShore RailCats. Former Winnipeg first baseman Jacob Bockelie hit a ball to centre field that Miles Simington lost in the sun and the ball dropped in for a three-run, inside-the-park home run in the top of the third inning. That gave the RailCats a 6-2 lead. With two runners on in the bottom of the ninth, Goldeyes right fielder Max Murphy drove a ball deep to right field that Gary's Chad Smith caught with his back against the wall to end the ballgame.
