You have to give the Winnipeg Goldeyes a little credit. They made Friday nights 6-4 loss to the Trois Rivieres Aigles very exciting in the ninth inning. Trailing 6-1 heading into the bottom of the ninth, the Goldeyes scored three times and had the bases loaded with one out before Trois Rivieres reliever Nick Sarianides struck out Ryan Scoma and Casey Haerther to end it. It was a terrific finish to a horrible start. Goldeyes starter Justin Garcia lasted only 3 2/3 innings, allowing six runs on nine hits as the Goldeyes fell behind early and never recovered. Winnipeg managed only one run on five hits through the first eight innings, as they struggled right up until the final inning in front of 4,889 paying customers at Shaw Park. With the loss, the Goldeyes fell to 31-32 on the season, 2-2 in the first four games of this 11-game homestand and remained in third place in the American Associations North Division. "Justin (Garcia) didnt have command of his fastball tonight and when you dont have command of your primary stuff it makes it pretty hard to have command of your secondary stuff," said Goldeyes manager Rick Forney. "But Gabe Aguilar and Kaohi Downing pitched real well for us out of the bullpen. We got 5 1/3 innings of scoreless relief from our bullpen tonight so give those guys some credit. They did a real nice job for us and kept us in the ball game." The Goldeyes opened the scoring as leadoff man Tyler Graham beat out an infield single, went to second on a wild pitch, stole third and scored on a single by Ray Sadler. Winnipeg then scored three times in the ninth. Josh Mazzola led off with a single and scored on a double by Luis Alen. Amos Ramon singled to put runners on the corners and then Tyler Graham singled to drive home Alen. Kevin Moesquit was safe on an error by Aigles second baseman Richard Arias and then Ray Sadler singled in Ramon. But that was all the excitement the Fish could muster. With the bases loaded and only one out, Sarianides struck out Scoma and Haerther and that did it. Burkard (2-1, 2.35 ERA) got the win for Trois Rivieres, while Garcia (5-4, 5.33 ERA) suffered the loss for Winnipeg. The best player on the field for Winnipeg was reliever Gabe Aguilar who replaced Garcia in the fourth and pitched 4 1/3 scoreless innings. He, at least, gave the Goldeyes a chance to mount a comeback and lowered his ERA to 3.29. Downing pitched a scoreless ninth and lowered his ERA to 2.81. The Goldeyes and les Aigles will meet in Game 2 of this four game series on Saturday night, 6:00 p.m. at Shaw Park. Nike Flyknit Clearance Sale .

Nike Flyknit Cheap Online . But what about the officials? Every sport has officials and they also have stories about hard work and sacrifice but their accomplishments are seldom recognized by anyone outside their inner circle. Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber believes his league is in transition when it comes to star players.Its a youth movement slowly taking hold as teams shift from older designated players to younger options to fill the premier roles.Without doubt the target is younger players who are coming at the prime of their career or even as theyre beginning to establish their career, Garber said.Garber spoke with The Associated Press by phone this week leading to Saturdays MLS Cup final between Seattle and Toronto, discussing the hiring of national coach Bruce Arena and league expansion to Atlanta and Minnesota in 2017.The evolution of the designated player role is tilting younger, with some of the bigger and older names leaving. Stars like Sebastian Giovinco, Mauro Diaz and Jozy Altidore are in their prime and spending that time in MLS.Thats not to say MLS will close the dr on prominent players lking to the league as a place to spend their final few seasons -- in the manner of Robbie Keane, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and Andrea Pirlo. David Villa at 34 was the MLS MVP this season, and Garber raves about his role.But Garber suspects the older stars will supplement the league as it moves forward.The strategy in the past might have been to sign players that were well known who have already established their legend playing someplace else, Garber said. Now were able to bring in a (Nicolas) Lodeiro who is an accomplished player at 28, but hes the MLS newcomer of the year and were hoping he can create a legend for himself in Major League Soccer and in Seattle.Certainly Sebastian Giovinco has been able to prove that, and Giovani dos Santos who has seen his career really rise to an entirely new level by playing in (Los Angeles). Its part of the evolution of our league.The tipping point, Garber believes, has been the success of Giovinco, who signed with Toronto in 2015 at 28 and was the league MVP in his first season. Garber also noted the performances of Ignacio Piatti in Montreal and Diego Valeri in Portland as key signings in helping create the shift.Somebody told me the other day its OK to give those guys who helped get us here a gold watch, Garber saidd.dddddddddddd But now its time to sign players who are younger, who arent thinking about that gold watch. Theyre thinking about winning some silverware, the MLS Cup trophy.Among other topics Garber addressed as MLS completes its 21st season:U.S. SOCCER: Garber expects a strong relationship between Arena and the league, but did not address whether Arenas appointment will lead to more MLS players being considered for the national team. Garber also remained confident of the U.S. qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia despite losing its first two matches in the final qualifying round.Were obviously very excited about him taking the reins of our national team, Garber said. He knows our league. He knows our national team and hes deeply experienced in knowing the game and managing the game.COMING ON BOARD: Garber is pleased with the foundation set by Atlanta and Minnesota, the two expansion teams coming on board in 2017, bringing the league to 22 teams. Atlanta has topped the 20,000 season-ticket plateau. Minnesota will break ground next week on its soccer-specific stadium.Los Angeles Ftball Club will join the league in 2018 as the 23rd team. Garber seemed less enthusiastic about David Beckhams drawn-out attempt at bringing a team to Miami as the leagues 24th franchise. Asked about developments on that front, Garber said, Nothing new on Miami.Garber confirmed new guidelines and a timeline on expansion to 28 teams is expected to be put in place at league meetings this month.CHINA: Garber doesnt see the Chinese Super League as a competitor even though it is luring recognized players with large contracts.I dont believe they are a competitor at all, Garber said. When professional soccer grows in emerging markets its a positive for the professional sports business.SCHEDULING: MLS expects to release its 2017 schedule shortly after the New Year, with the season likely starting in early March. Garber said the league plans to be mindful of FIFAs international breaks for national team commitments and next summers CONCACAF Gold Cup. ' ' '
