Goldeyes eke out win over T-Bones (Winipeg Free Press)

Kevin West homered three times for the Winnipeg Goldeyes (32-23), but a walkoff home run by Cody Ehlers (01-04) made the difference as the Kansas City T-Bones (26-31) fell 10-8 at Canwest Park tonight in Winnipeg, Manitoba

Justin James (02-03) relieved Villarreal and allowed two walks and a single before giving way to Chris Rhoads with the bases loaded and nobody out. A double play from Brown scored the first run before an RBI single by Ehlers made the score 7-0 after seven.

Nate Cotton entered to close the game for the T-Bones and surrendered a one-out home run to West, his third of the game. After an infield single by Brown with two outs, Ehlers finished the game with a two-run home run that capped the score at 10-8.


Memories of pinstripes (Winnipeg Sun)
As for his first season with the Fish, Cody Ehlers admits it took him some time to adjust to the pitching in the Northern League after spending five seasons in the Yankees organization -- including two years with Double-A Trenton of the Eastern League.

"It's been a little up-and-down, not as consistent as I'd liked, but it's been fun though," said Ehlers. "In affiliated ball, they're trying to throw it by you every pitch. Here they sometimes throw you 2-0 curve balls and stuff like that. It's a bit of a change. It's an adjustment."
