After winning on opening day, the Fish out scored the Grand Prarie AirHogs 15-5 over the next two games to cap off an opening weekend sweep of the AirHogs. After a combined 2 hit shutout on Saturday, the Goldeyes capped off a great series by winning 10-5 on Sunday night, due in part to SS Nate Samson who popped a grand slam in the fourth inning.
Ryan Scoma got the fish started driving in two with a single in the second inning, and the offense kept coming from there.
After Samson's grand slam, CF Fehlandt Lentini ripped his first of the year to put the fish up 7-0 through four. He would also adds a sacrifice fly later in the game.
Grand Prarie would widdle it down to 8-5 in the sixth but their comeback came up short of the marl as the fish put up a couple in the 9th to put the game out of reach.
Justin Garcia (1-0) got the start for Winnipeg after being activated off the disabled list the day before. He went 6 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on five hits while walking one, and striking out seven. Aaron Correa gave up three runs in the seventh, but Lafferty and Caldwell put up a couple of goose eggs to end the game.
Looking back to last year's 6-0 playoff run, the fish have won 9 in a row. They take their show to Amarillo next to finish up their only stop in Texas this year.
