WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (41-58) closed out the 2025 season Monday afternoon at Blue Cross Park, dropping a 12-8 decision to the Sioux City Explorers (64-36). Boxscore The visitors wasted little time getting on the board. With Henry George on second base in the top of the first inning, D’Shawn Knowles drove an opposite-field home run over the left field wall to make it 2-0. Moments later, Zac Vooletich came around on an Abdiel Layer double to right, giving Sioux City a quick 3-0 lead. Winnipeg chipped away immediately in the home half.

The comeback continued in the third when Roby Enríquez singled to centre, driving in Matthew Warkentin to pull the Goldeyes even at 3-3. The Explorers answered back in the fourth when Austin Davis hit a two-run homer to left, restoring a 5-3 advantage. One inning later, with two men aboard, Layer struck again with a three-run blast to left that widened the gap to 8-3. The Goldeyes weren’t done, though, and put together their biggest inning of the afternoon in the bottom of the fifth. With the bases full, Ray-Patrick Didder grounded into a fielder’s choice to bring in a run. García followed with a sacrifice fly to centre, and then O’Tremba ripped a double down the left field line to make it 8-6. Bramasco delivered his second RBI of the day with a sharp single, capping off a four-run inning that pulled Winnipeg within one at 8-7. Sioux City kept pressing, adding two runs in the sixth on a Vooletich RBI single and a wild pitch that brought home Josh Day. Winnipeg’s last push came in the seventh when Lynch collected his second RBI of the game with a sacrifice fly that scored O’Tremba, closing the gap to 10-8. The Explorers put the game away in the late innings, as Day singled home Knowles in the eighth, and Nathan Rose added one more insurance run in the ninth for the 12-8 final.
