Reggie Abercrombie saw a hanging curveball and ended the Winnipeg Goldeyes losing streak at five games. Billy Turner Super Bowl Jersey . Gary Southshore RailCats reliever Ethan Gibbons left a curveball up and over the plate with Brock Bond on second and one out in the bottom of the 11th inning and Abercrombie drilled it over the left field wall to give the Goldeyes a 4-2 win over the RailCats on a cool, rainy Sunday afternoon at Shaw Park. With only a handful of the 5,232 who showed up to watch the Goldeyes finish a three-game series with Gary remaining in the ballpark, the Fish ended their longest slump of the season and improved to 35-19 with a thrilling 11th inning, walk-off, two-run bomb. "He left a curveball up in the zone and I was to get all of it," said Abercrombie who was still covered in shaving cream and talcum powder from the post-game celebration. "Like Ive said, Ive been struggling since we returned home from Fargo and Ive been doing a lot of extra work. But Rick (manager Forney) talked to me the other day and told me that everything would come around my teammates have been behind throughout the whole thing and I just cant say enough about them." With the victory, the Goldeyes remained 5 1/2 games ahead of St. Paul in the race for first in the American Associations North Division. The Saints will come to Winnipeg to play five games in about 2 1/2 days, starting Tuesday. Despite the victory, Forney said he was heartbroken from starter, Chris Salamida. After all, Salamida pitched 8 1/3 innings and didnt allow an earned run but didnt get the win because of an error in the ninth that turned a 2-0 Goldeyes lead into a 2-2 tie. "I really am heartbroken for Sal," Forney said. "He pitched his heart out today and he deserved to get the win. Im just so disappointed we couldnt get it for him. He was outstanding at a time when we needed a starter to be outstanding. The bullpen has been great, but we needed to give them some time off and what Sal gave us today is exactly what we needed. The Goldeyes took a 2-0 lead in the third inning when Luis Alen walked, Jordan Guida dropped down a sacrifice bunt and ended up being safe on an error that sent Alen to third. Tyler Kuhn drove home Alen with a solid single that sent Guida to third and Guida scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Bond. Salamida proceeded to pitch brilliantly, but he was blindsided in the ninth. Garys Zac Mitchell singled, Ryan Babineau struck out looking and pinch hitter Cody Bishop doubled to score Mitchell. Brendan Lafferty replaced Salamida and he immediately got Wally Backman to hit a ground ball to first. But with the wet ball in the rain, first baseman Casey Haerther flipped the ball over Laffertys head, scoring Bishop to tie the game. The Goldeyes finished with four runs on six hits while Gary managed only two runs on 10 hits. In his first day as a member of the Goldeyes, newcomer Cephas Howard got the win (2-1, 3.86 ERA). Howard faced one batter in the 11th and got him to fly to left on the second pitch. Gibbons (0-1, 2.31 ERA) took the loss. There was no save. The Goldeyes will have Monday off then start a five-games-in-three-days series with a doubleheader on Tuesday night against the St. Paul Saints. Game 1 will be the completion of a game that was suspended due to rain on June 14. No pitchers have been determined for the continuation of the nine-inning game, which will start with two-out in the bottom of the third inning. In Game 2, a seven-inning game, Matt Jackson (7-3, 3.69 ERA) will get the start for Winnipeg while Nick Barnese (3-5, 3.63 ERA) will take to the bump for St. Paul. Aaron Rodgers Super Bowl Jersey .

The Rangers will face either the Flyers or Columbus in the opening round of the post-season. The Rangers struggled throughout against the lowly Sabres and goalie Matt Hackett, who played in just his seventh NHL game of the season.Some of the Islanders’ success is due to the supporting cast, a revelation on the Dallas blueline, a big night for Canucks checkers, tough times for Crosby; lots of lineup notes, Fantasy tips and more in Scott Cullen’s Statistically Speaking. HEROES Ryan Strome – The Islanders’ winger had a goal and two assists against the Penguins Friday, and even though he was held off the scoresheet in Saturday’s rematch, Strome has seven points (4 G, 3 A) in the past six games and is the most efficient scorer in the league. Among players to play at least 100 5-on-5 minutes this season: 5-on-5 Point Production PLAYER TEAM PTS/60 Ryan Strome N.Y. Islanders 4.04 Jakub Voracek Philadelphia 3.85 Rick Nash N.Y.

John Klingberg – The Stars rookie defenceman had a goal and an assist against Los Angeles Saturday, giving him six points (2 G, 4 A) during a four-game point streak and he’s played 23:36 per game in seven games since being called up from the AHL. On a Stars defence that has been looking for answers through the first quarter of the season, it appears that Klingberg is one. Hansen, Horvat & Dorsett – Canucks RW Jannik Hansen scored three goals against Chicago in Vancouver’s 4-1 win Sunday, giving him five goals in the past three games. His centre, rookie Bo Horvat assisted on all three while Derek Dorsett picked up a couple assists.

Ryan Johansen – Columbus’ No. 1 centre had no shot attempts in 17:17 at Philadelphia Saturday and had the worst possession stats (7 for, 15 against 31.8%) among Blue Jackets forwards. Adam Larsson - In just 11:58 of even-strength ice time against Edmonton Friday, Larsson was on for three shot attempts for and 17 against (15.0%). He has a positive Corsi and has been holding down a regular spot on the New Jersey blueline, but it was a rough night nonetheless. LINEUP NEED TO KNOW Jay Bouwmeester – The St. Louis blueliner was hurt on the weekend, suffering a lower-body injury after stepping in a rut on the ice, ending his ironman streak at 737 games.

Only Dion Phaneuf has played more than the 21:07 per game that Polak has played for the Leafs this season and now Polak is expected to miss at least four weeks of action. Scott Laughton – The Flyers rookie played a career-high 15:01 against Columbus Saturday, leading Philadelphia with six hits. John Mitchell – The checking centre was out of the Avalanche lineup, joining Alex Tanguay and rookie Dennis Everberg on the shelf, so Colorado had call-ups Andrew Agozzino, Ben Street and Tomas Vincour in Saturday’s lineup. They’ve since demoted Agozzino and recalled Paul Carey from the AHL. Corban Knight – The Flames called up the 24-year-old centre from the AHL, where he had eight points (5 G, 3 A) in 16 games for Adirondck.
