"They (the Wingnuts) played a great baseball game," said Goldeyes manager Rick Forney. "They lifted the ball and used the elements to their advantage. They used the whole field and (starter) Jon Link was tremendous, eight innings of shutout baseball. You have to tip your cap to him. Wichita took a 1-0 lead in the first as leadoff hitter Ryan Khoury doubled, went to third on a ground out and scored on a sacrifice fly by John Rodriguez. Then, in the fifth, the Wingnuts blew it open as Jared McDonald beat out an infield hit and eventually scored on a single by Tim Rotola.

In the sixth, Cole Armstrong singled, Colt Loehrs singled and MacDonald hit his three-run homer to put the lights out on the festivities. The Wingnuts added two more runs in the seventh, just for fun, as McDonald singled home Rodriguez to pick up his fourth RBI of the night and then Amberson hit into a fielders choice and drove in CJ Ziegler.

"Jon Link was above the league," said Forney. "Thats the most dominating performance Ive seen from a pitcher in this league in seven or eight years. He had a great plan and he executed it tonight. No wonder he pitched in the majors. Tip your cap to him, he did a great job." Goldeyes slugger Josh Mazzola was ejected after striking out in the first inning. He took issue with the work of home plate umpire P.J. Krauss. Nick Liles replaced him in the lineup and finished with a pair of singles.

In what were supposed to be largely ceremonial at-bats, Holliday, still recovering from a broken right thumb, swatted a home run and had a key RBI single.

Aaron Hicks and Tyler Austin are the backups.Holliday, 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, has never been the most graceful outfielder.
