RedHawks salvage finale against Goldeyes - PembinaValleyOnline

CHICAGO — Ever have one of those days where you should have just stayed in bed? That pretty much sums up how Thursday went for the Winnipeg Jets here in the Windy City. It began with the bad news that top defenceman Josh Morrissey’s wrist issue is more serious than feared, and he likely won’t be back in the lineup any time soon. Then, veteran forward Vlad Namestnikov, coming off his best game of the young season, crashed into the boards at the end of morning skate, suffering an upper-body injury that sent him to the sidelines.

Right fielder Matt Kroon hit a three-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to lift the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks to a 6-5 victory over the Winnipeg Goldeyes Friday evening at Blue Cross Park in Game Two of the West Division Series. Fargo-Moorhead won the best-of-three series 2-0 and advances to the West Division Championship Series, where the RedHawks will face the winner of Saturday’s game between the Sioux Falls Canaries and Kansas City Monarchs.

Left fielder Eric Filia hit a three-run home run in the third inning and the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks defeated the Winnipeg Goldeyes 5-1 Wednesday evening at Newman Outdoor Field in Game One of the West Division Series. Fargo-Moorhead leads the best-of-three series 1-0.
