The Winnipeg Goldeyes (6-3) were downed 14-7 by the El Paso Diablos (2-8) Saturday night before 3,161 fans at Cohen Stadium in a crazy affair that saw both sides put up big, crooked numbers in numerous innings. Like they did on Friday, El Paso jumped on the Goldeyes early by scoring once in the first and three more runs in the second inning for a 4-0 lead. Maikol Gonzalez had a two-run RBI double in the second, while Bryan Frichter also had an RBI double for El Paso. Amos Ramon scored in the third inning on a Jon Weber ground ball to break the shutout in the third inning, but El Paso responded in the fourth with two more runs to extend their lead to 6-1. The Goldeyes narrowed El Pasos lead to 6-3 in the fifth inning when Ramon and Chris Roberson each punched RBI doubles for two runs. El Paso catcher Patrick Arlis double scored two runs for the Diablos in the seventh. It looked liked El Paso had an insurmountable lead, but the Goldeyes had other ideas. To start the top of the eighth inning, Weber became the fourth Goldeyes player of the game to get hit by a pitch and an altercation between Weber and Arlis ensued. It ignited both dugouts to charge the field. After the players were separated, Weber and Yurendell de Caster were ejected for Winnipeg and Arlis was ejected for El Paso. The brawl seemed to give Winnipeg a boost, as the Goldeyes scored four runs in the eighth inning. Winnipeg was poised to take the lead by loading the bases with one out, but Roberson grounded into a double play to end the threat. El Paso snuffed out any hopes of another ninth-inning Goldeyes comeback by scoring six runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to avoid getting swept for the second straight series. Diablos starter Reymond Cruz picked up the win, while Marcel Prado, who pitched the final out of the eighth inning and all of the ninth inning, got his first save of the season. Prado even had an RBI double in the eighth inning after having to hit in Arlis spot. The Goldeyes used six pitchers in the game, including starter Ace Walker for an out in the seventh inning. Starter Fabian Williamson that took his second loss of the season. Winnipeg finishes the nine-game road trip with a 6-3 record and hold a one-game lead over the St. Paul Saints and Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks in the North Division. cheap jerseys from china .500.

The celebrated Swiss star doesnt actually need to win a match, he just needs to show up and play -- at each of the years four Grand Slams. If he does, Federer will tally 56 consecutive Grand Slam singles tournaments, which would equal the record held by retired South African player Wayne Ferreira. So far, so good. Federer will mark his 53rd straight when the Australian Open starts Monday, making him not just one of the greatest players in tennis history but also one of the sports most enduring. "Im still here," said a smiling Federer, looking relaxed and confident at a packed pre-tournament press conference Saturday. "Longevity has always been something thats important to me," The 17-time Grand Slam winner has been winning major titles since 2003 -- and said he was once a ball boy for Ferreira who retired in 2005. "Im excited that Ive played so many in a row, and I hope I can keep the streak alive -- and see where it stops. Well see how it goes." For the moment, more immediate records beckon. At age 31, Federer is in pursuit of his 18th Grand Slam title. If he wins in Melbourne that would make him the only man aside from Andre Agassi to have won four Australian Open trophies since the Open Era started in 1968. It would also allow Federer, the reigning Wimbledon champion, to join a club of only five men to have won two or more Grand Slam titles after turning 30. The others are Agassi, Jimmy Connors in the 80s, Ken Rosewell a decade earlier, and Rod Laver in 1969. Until his Wimbledon win, Federer had been widely viewed as a champion in decline, eclipsed by Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. But his win returned him to the top the ATP rankings for the first time since June 2010, matching Pete Sampras record of 286 weeks at No. 1. Mindful of his place in history and his aging body, Federer has scaled back his schedule. He arrives in Melbourne more rested than usual after having taken several weeks off from tennnis and public appearances.dddddddddddd "Its been very relaxing." said Federer, who is now ranked No. 2 and faces Benoit Paire of France in the first round. "I purposely didnt play any lead-up tournament so that Id be fresh for the beginning, hopefully going deep into (this) tournament. Thats the goal obviously." Injury has hobbled Nadal, who was sidelined since June with tendinitis in his left knee and is not competing in Melbourne. Federers biggest obstacles remain top-ranked Djokovic, who is aiming for a third consecutive Australian Open title, and No. 3 Andy Murray, who is on a roll after his breakthrough win at the London Olympics followed by his first major title at the U.S. Open. The 25-year-old Murray landed in the same half of the draw as Federer, meaning they could potentially meet in the semifinals. The winner of that match could face a final against Djokovic -- a matchup that Murray knows well. "Theyre incredibly tough, physical matches," said Murray, who beat Djokovic to win the U.S Open final after losing to the Serb in last years Australian Open semifinal. "We played quite a few good ones last year in some of the biggest events." "If I get to play Novak here, that would mean it would be in the final. So obviously thats what I would like to do," Murray said. Djokovic had kind words for Murrays accomplishments. "He has become a Grand Slam and Olympic champion. Its something not many players in history have done," Djokovic said. "Hes great. I think mentally something switched in his head and he just started believing much more in his abilities." The 25-year-old Djokovic is aiming for his third consecutive Australian Open win, a feat no other player has achieved in the Open era. But he didnt want to discuss that. "This is my most successful Grand Slam," he said. "But this Grand Slam is also known for a lot of surprises." Djokovic begins his title defence with a first-round match against Paul-Henri Mathieu, while Murray faces Robin Hasse. ' ' '
