An error hurt the Winnipeg Goldeyes early in the game, but they would benefit from a pair in the ninth. David Coopers throwing error in the ninth allowed Jordan Guida to score the winning run, as the Goldeyes beat the Trois-Rivieres Aigles 6-5 on Sunday afternoon. Aside from the victory, it was a record setting afternoon at Shaw Park. With the Goldeyes up 1-0 in the second, Fehlandt Lentini led off the inning with a single. Two batters later, while standing at second, Lentini swiped third base on a 2-1 count for the 332nd stolen base of his independent baseball career, setting a new independent baseball record. The Goldeyes would also add to their lead in the inning when Amos Ramon smacked a two-run single up the middle. Matt Rusch started strong for the Goldeyes, retiring the first nine batters of the game, five by the way of strikeout. However, the wheels would fall off in the sixth inning. With two outs, Ramon committed a costly error that extended the inning. The next batter, Cam Kneeland would cut the Goldeyes lead to one and chase Rusch from the game. Kaohi Downing would come in for relief, but the first batter he faced, Jon Smith, hammered a pitch over the right-field wall for a three-run home run. It was Smiths second dinger of the series and all of a sudden, it was the Aigles who led 5-3. The Goldeyes would get the runs back quickly in their half of the sixth. With one run in, Casey Haerther blooped a pitch into shallow left field for a single to plate Ryan Scoma and score was tied at five. In the ninth, Luis Alen started the charge with a one out single. He looked to be out on a fielders choice on the next play, but an error to Aigles second baseman Josh Colafemina allowed him to move into scoring position. He was lifted for Guida and two batters later, Cooper threw away an Amos Ramon groundball, allowing the Goldeyes to walk-off as Guida crossed the plate for the winning run. Chris Kissock picked up the win in relief. He pitched a clean ninth inning for the victory. Matt Rusch went 5 2/3 innings, allowing one run on four hits. He also struck out seven batters. Sean Keeler took the loss for Trois-Rivieres, giving up the winning run in 1 2/3 innings of work out of the bullpen. Chipper Jones Jersey .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again.

Preston Tucker Jersey .Y. -- Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo had little trouble picking up his first shutout of the season against a Buffalo Sabres team thats having trouble scoring goals. 1. Why do we tend to write off the qualifying final losers?Sydney and Hawthorn confront the ignominious straight sets exit from the finals this weekend after finishing top-four, making for a tense week for the warrior teams. But since the current finals system was introduced in 2000, only five of 64 top-four teams have been booted out in that manner.The rider to all this is that it has happened three times in the past two years -- to Geelong and Fremantle in 2014 and Sydney in 2015. There is also a strong argument to suggest the AFLs pre-finals bye may have helped the teams in the bottom half of the eight, and an even stronger argument that the teams who finished fifth to seventh were much stronger this year.But Hawthorn and Sydney, both playing at home and stung by last weekends results, should make strong cases to continue this weekend.2. Is Eddie Betts the best-ever small forward?This one cropped up the other day and to be honest, there is some hyperbole in it. What is more accurate is that Betts, with 77 goals, has produced one of the best-ever seasons by a small forward.This century only two -- Brad Johnson (74 in 2006) and Jeff Farmer (76 in 2000) -- have come close to that level of output. And needless to say, Betts has become close to the best player to watch in the land. Nick Smith, his likely opponent this week at the SCG, has an enormous task ahead of him.But the best-ever? A couple of blokes named Matthews and Bartlett (and Daicos, if you consider him small) would have something to say.3. In defence vs. offence, who wins? Sydney vs. Adelaide represents the No. 1 ranked defensive team against the No. 1 attacking side. Hence, it is the duel of philosophies, in a sense.It is common for people to say in sport that defence wins championships, but it is scarcely that simple, and in any case, Sydney were fourth in the competition for scoring this season, hence have both genres covered. The problem for the Swans last weekend was they were shut down, and Lance Franklin went goalless, which they cannot afford to alloow again.ddddddddddddDon Pyke has changed the game in his first season by encouraging his players to run at the forward presses that have become the norm in recent years, and to scythe through the webs to score easy goals. All power to him for making ball movement king. But in short, both teams need to address each phase of the game to win.4. Could Luke Beveridge be a great coach? Tim Watson raised this notion during the week and it is worth pondering. On the small sample that Beveridge has offered up at this level, it is quite possible the next Alastair Clarkson has arrived.The Bulldogs will be everyones second team this weekend on the back of what they achieved at Domain Stadium last weekend and on the way they have worked through their terrible injury toll in 2016. Two factors tell you that Beveridge is really good: first, his players want to play for him, manically so as we saw in Perth. Second, players improve under his watch.He also knows Hawthorns method inside out, having spent a couple of years as an assistant to Clarkson, being one of five coaches in the competition who came through that particular school. This week, he said Hawthorn have changed so much that it would not help him. But he would say that, wouldnt he?5. Are the Hawks gone?We now know that Hawthorn have to go the long road if they are to win a fourth consecutive premiership, but it is not impossible by any stretch. As recently as last year the Hawks had backs to the wall after losing to West Coast in the first week of finals, only to hit their best in the run home. Sydney (in 2005) and West Coast (in 2006) are among other teams to take that route to a flag.It is true that Clarksons team has not played as well as in 2016, dipping to sixth in scoring in the absence of Jarryd Roughead. But aside from a crooked kick from Isaac Smith last weekend they would be premiership favorites right now. Watch this space on that one. ' ' '
