The Winnipeg Goldeyes sent staff ace Matt Rusch to the mound hoping to get back on the winning track. It turned out they did most of the heavy lifting before Rusch even threw a pitch. The Goldeyes sent 12 men to the plate in an eight-run first inning on their way to a 12-1 rout of the Sioux Falls Canaries on Thursday to earn a series split. Casey Haerther and Amos Ramon started the big inning with a pair of two-run singles. Then in his second at bat of the inning, Ryan Scoma capped off the frame with a bases-clearing, two-out double that plated three Goldeyes runs. Scoma had two hits in the first, along with Fehlandt Lentini, who also scored twice. The eight-run, seven-hit first was the Goldeyes highest single-inning output of the season in both categories. "You really cant ask for anything better than that," said Goldeyes pitching coach Jamie Vermilyea on the TSN 1290 post-game show. "It takes a lot of pressure of the pitcher and he can just go out there and throw strikes." With the score 8-1, Lentini led off the fourth with a home run over the left field wall. The solo shot was the Goldeyes centerfielders third home run of the season. They extended their lead to double digits later in the inning when Josh Mazzola hit a RBI triple off the wall. Mazzola scored on the play when the throw to third was off the mark. Casey Haerther hit his fifth home run of the season in the ninth to finish off the scoring. Matt Rusch picked up the win for the Goldeyes. He went 7 2/3 innings, the longest start for a Winnipeg starter all season. Rusch struck out seven and improved his record to 4-0. The Goldeyes also snapped a streak of seven straight games with an error. "He took advantage of their hitters being overly aggressive," Vermilyea said. "He had command of all of his pitches and he definitely got better as the game went on." Canaries starter Jordan Whatcott went four innings and dropped to 0-5 on the season. He allowed 10 earned runs on 10 hits, while walking one and striking out three. The Goldeyes will head to Fargo to finish up their road trip with a three game weekend series against the RedHawks.
