A night ago, the Winnipeg Goldeyes relied on their deep batting order to score 18 runs. Friday night, the Goldeyes relied on their deep pitching staff to allow just one run. Four pitchers combined to lead the Goldeyes to a 4-1 win over the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks before 5,227 fans at Newman Outdoor Field on Independence Day in America. The win stretches Winnipegs lead to eight games in the American Associations North Division over the RedHawks. The Goldeyes have also won nine in a row and 13 of their last 15 games. Luis Alen opened the scoring for Winnipeg when he singled in Donnie Webb from second in the top of the fourth inning to give the Goldeyes a 1-0 lead. After Goldeyes starter Matt Jackson struck out Ronnie Bourquin looking with runners on the corners in the bottom of the fourth, Casey Haerther hit a solo home run in the top of the fifth to double Winnipegs lead. It was Haerthers third home run in his last six games. Jackson struck out Brandon Newton in a steady rain to end the fifth, but from there the game was delayed by 1:09 due to the rain. Following a scoreless sixth inning, the RedHawks finally got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the seventh inning. C.J. Retherford drew a walk and subsequently went to third on a double by Ronnie Bourquin. Kaohi Downing came in from Winnipegs bullpen in relief of Jackson and Fargo catcher Petey Paramore hit at the first pitch he saw for a single to score Retherford. However, a great thrown by Donnie Webb from right field beat Bourquin to home plate by 10 feet and kept Winnipeg in front. Brendan Lafferty came in for the final two outs of the bottom of the seventh, including a strikeout of Anthony Kaskadden with runners on first and second to end the threat. In the top of the eighth, the Goldeyes gave themselves a cushion with RBI singles from Brock Bond and Alen. The lead could have been even bigger, but Webb, who led off with a walk, was caught stealing at second. It didnt matter though, as Lafferty struck out three more in the bottom of the eighth and Chris Kissock pitched a 1-2-3 bottom of the ninth to earn his 11th save of the season. Its also Kissocks sixth save in his last seven outings. Jackson picked up the win for the Goldeyes for his league-best seventh victory of the season. Fargo starter Curtis Camilli suffered the loss in his RedHawks debut. At the plate, Haerther increased his lead in the leagues batting race by going three-for-four to up his batting average to .416 on the season. Alen added two RBI.

Sam Darnold Jets Jersey . A day after FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke said three stadiums would not be ready in time for the Dec. 31 deadline, Brazilian officials said they actually plan to deliver all six remaining venues after that date. They claim only three are delayed, with the other three being handed over after the expected date only because of problems accommodating the schedule of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, who wants to be present for the ceremonies. Trumaine Johnson Jersey . Ibrahimovic put PSG ahead when he got in front of his marker to neatly flick in Lucass cross in the 59th minute. New signing Yohan Cabaye came on as a second-half substitute and headed Ezequiel Lavezzis cross against the post in the 87th. Moments later, Lucas set up another goal from the right when fellow countryman Alex turned in his corner with a strikers finish.It was the final day of training camp in September of 2001 and I opened the door to the Senators coaches office. There, I saw a teenaged boy with tears in his eyes, being consoled by strength and conditioning coach Randy Lee. Jason Spezza had just been delivered the devastating news that he would be returned to junior hockey – the final victim of the roster cuts made by general manager Marshall Johnston and head coach Jacques Martin. At the time I was a fairly inexperienced member of the Senators PR department, but I knew that Spezza was not ready to deal with the media. He flatly told me he didnt want to answer any questions that morning. However, it was just past 10am and reporters were going to start trickling into the building at any moment. We made the decision to get Jason out of the rink before any cameras showed up and caught footage of him looking so despondent. I went outside to the hallway and found that an Ottawa Citizen reporter had been the first to show up. But there was nobody else around, so I told him he needed to have his photo taken for his 2001-02 season pass, and I walked with him down to the security area. And once I did that, Lee helped escort Spezza out of the rink going the opposite way – so that nobody from the media could see him. I dont think you could really blame him in that situation. He was 18 years old and just had the rug pulled out from underneath him. He exceled at every level when it came to hockey, so being returned to the OHL was something he never fathomed. A few hours later, Jacques Martin would make his infamous statement that Jason was "a boy playing a mans game" – and maybe it was true on that day. But it seemed like that label stuck to Spezza for his entire tenure in Ottawa, like a stubborn piece of gum at the bottom of his shoe. He was never quite good enough for some people in this market. Even after his heroics as a 19-year-old in the playoffs in 2003 – when he scored a goal and added an assist in a must-win Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final against the New Jersey Devils – there were lingering doubts about his ability as a player. The very next year, Jacques Martin made him a healthy scratch for several playoff games against the Toronto Maple Leafs. A trip to the Stanley Cup Final in 2007 didnt cement his status in this town, even though Spezza tied for the league lead in playoff scoring. Just a couple of years later, he was booed on home ice during a Game 4 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2010 playoffs. That was almost enough to drive him ouut of town, with general manager Bryan Murray hinting that Spezza told him he was amenable to a trade if one could be executed.ddddddddddddnbsp; And yet three years later he was still here, now wearing the captains "C" on his jersey - which only seemed to make the target on his back even bigger. It was a roller coaster with Spezza from the onset and it seemed the ride never stopped. Every game seemed to be a referendum on whether or not you could win with him. After a while, it gets tiresome. Tiresome for the player. Tiresome for the fans. And tiresome for the organization. And yes - even tiresome for people like me who work in sports talk radio. There are days when I would just have to say "Jason Spezza" on the air and our phone lines would light up. Finally, Spezza himself has had enough. Bryan Murray admitted to the reporters on Wednesday that Spezza has asked to get off this ride. And Im not sure I can really blame him. Hes spent 11 seasons here and has more than paid his dues. In the next few days, you will likely read a ton of internet comments suggesting that Spezza never really embraced Ottawa. And that if he cant stand the pressure of playing Ottawa, he shouldnt let the door hit him on the way out. From my perspective, though, Spezza handled the pressure in this market as well as he could have. He was made the scapegoat on many nights when the team lost. And when he was the star in a Senators victory, too often the sentiment was, "why cant he do that every night?" I believe that day as an 18-year-old was the only time that Jason Spezza ever knowingly ducked the media. He stood in the line of fire and took his lumps on a daily basis for more than a decade. To suggest that he doesnt have the mental toughness to handle a Canadian market is completely erroneous. The guy just spent 11 years in this market, was a point-a-game producer and wanted to be named the captain of this team 10 months ago. If thats shying away from the limelight, I think youre sadly mistaken. We can debate whether the media or the fans pushed another star out of town in Ottawa - although this one feels a little different than the forced departures for guys like Dany Heatley and Alexei Yashin. Daniel Alfredssons exit last summer was a punch in the stomach that nobody saw coming. Spezzas imminent departure, on the other hand, is more like a gradual erosion; something that was inevitable. And when he finally does leave Ottawa, I can guarantee you Jason Spezza wont be shedding any tears.
