Yurendell de Caster and Ray Sadler were not going to allow the Winnipeg Goldeyes to be eliminated quite yet. De Caster hit a three-run homer to tie the game in the fifth inning and then Sadler doubled home Ryan Scoma with the winning run, as the Winnipeg Goldeyes beat the St. Paul Saints 5-4 in front of 6,037 at Shaw Park on Friday night. With the win, the Fish split the four-game series with St. Paul, improve to 54-43 on the season and remained 2 ½ games behind the Gary SouthShore RailCats in the American Association Wild Card race with three games left to play. "That was a real good baseball game tonight," said Goldeyes manager Rick Forney. "Matt (starter Jackson) struggled a little at the start, but he pitched a real good fourth, fifth and sixth inning to give us a chance to win. "Mark (Hardy) gave us some outstanding bridge work in the seventh and eighth and Kiss (Chris Kissock) shut it down in the ninth. I think their young pitcher kid of lost of composure a bit in the fifth. He got the first two outs and then gave up two walks which brought a veteran like de Caster to the plate and he delivered." St. Paul drew first blood in the top of the second, as Trevor Hairgrove dropped a bunt to score Donald Blunt from third on the safety squeeze play, but Winnipeg tied it in the bottom of the second as Sadler blasted a solo homer. St. Paul pulled ahead 4-1 after a solo homer by Brandon Tripp off starter Matt Jackson in the top of the fifth but with two out in the bottom of the fifth, Tyler Graham and Amos Ramon drew walks and de Caster hit a monster three-run bomb way over the leftfield wall to tie the game. Then, with one out in the bottom of the eighth, Scoma singled and Sadler drilled a double off the leftfield wall. Scoma scored all the way from first and Winnipeg led 5-4. In the ninth, Chris Kissock, who has not given up an earned run in 18 appearances, got the Saints out in order to give Winnipeg the victory. Sadler was the hitting star with a double, his 20th homer of the year, a run scored and two RBI, while de Caster had a homer and three runs batted in. Mark Hardy (7-3, 3.48 ERA) was the winning pitcher in relief while Kissock got his first save of the year. MacKenzie King (3-3, 4.05 ERA) took the loss for St. Paul. "You want every game to matter," said Forney. "(Thursday) night we kind of threw one away on one pitch, but we came back and won tonight and we live to play another day." Roger Clemens Jersey .

DALLAS -- Everything went right for the Dallas Stars against the listless Minnesota Wild. Erik Cole and Ray Whitney scored power-play goals, and the Stars stopped a three-game losing streak with a 4-0 victory over the Wild on Tuesday night. Kari Lehtonen made 18 saves as Dallas (22-20-8) won for the second time in its last 11 games. It was his second shutout of the season and No. 24 for his career. Jordie Benn scored on a penalty shot, beating Darcy Kuemper at 11:22 of the third period. "I thought we played a great team game tonight," said Dallas captain Jamie Benn, Jordie Benns younger brother. Dallas was coming off a 4-1 loss at Nashville on Monday night, while the Wild played for the first time since a 3-2 overtime victory over the Stars on Saturday. Minnesota (27-20-5) dropped to 7-3 in 2014. Most of the first period was played in the Minnesota end. Dallas finished with 12 shots on goal to only three for the Wild. The Stars also had all three power plays in the first. "This game goes in the garbage," Wild coach Mike Yeo said. "We didnt execute. We didnt defend. We were passengers. We were spectators through the whole game." "We won the opening faceoff and we spent 40 seconds in our own zone," Yeo said. "Thats a bad sign right there that we werent ready to execute. It just trickled on from there." Dallas scored at 13:18 of the first when Vernon Fiddler sent a wobbly drive from the top of the left faceoff circle over Kuemper for his first goal in 28 games. The Stars then added to their lead by scoring a power-play goal for the fifth consecutive game. Cole put the puck in the upper right corner from the left circle at 16:45, with Alex Goligoski earning his second assist of the game. "Its a tough game when youre chasing," Wild centre Kyle Brodziak said. "Being down 2-0 early on like we were, you feel like the rest of the game youre chasing the game. Its a tough league to be doing that. Good teams know how to shut you down. We couldnt get anything going.&quoot; The final goal was on a third-period penalty shot by Benn.ddddddddddddNot Jamie Benn, the teams second-leading scorer, but Jordie. The defenceman entered the game with two career goals. Jordie Benn skated in on Kuemper, got him to move to his left and slipped a backhand shot past him. Benn said he had taken a penalty shot once before in the minors. "I did that exact move, and it worked," he said. "Thats the only move I have, the only one Ive ever tried, and it worked again." Jamie Benn joked: "I pretty much taught him everything he knows." Stars coach Lindy Ruff had a different perspective. "I think thats a move Jordie should teach Jamie. Im serious," he said. "That was a solid pump fake." Whitney got on the board at 13:18 of the second period, lifting the Stars to a 3-0 lead just two seconds before a high-sticking penalty on Minnesotas Justin Fontaine ran out. Sergei Gonchar skated toward the net, and then passed to Whitney. He pulled the puck away from Kuemper, and then pushed it behind him. The shot crossed the goal line before a Wild defenceman could knock the puck away. It marked the Stars fourth game this season with two power-play goals. "The third goal was huge," Lehtonen said. "It settled things even more, and made it less stressful for me." Dallas outshot Minnesota 16-6 in the second period, and 36-18 for the game. NOTES: Cole scored two goals in this seasons first 25 games, but has 12 since the slow start - including three in his last five games. ... Dallas had 20 power-play goals in its first 45 games. The Stars have six in the last five games, and have improved from 29th to 27th in the NHL with a man advantage. ...
