In the twilight of August, the best to way to hurl yourself faster towards a playoff spot is to just keep winning. The Winnipeg Goldeyes (54-33) did exactly that Monday night by defeating the Can-Am Leagues New Jersey Jackals (47-36) 6-4 before 4,887 fans at Shaw Park. The victory, which is Winnipegs seven in their last eight games, shrunk its magic number to clinch the American Associations North Division to seven. It also maintained the Goldeyes eight-game lead over the St. Paul Saints in the North. After the Goldeyes started the scoring with single runs in the first two innings, the Jackals took a 3-0 lead, which turned out to be their only lead, with three runs on three hits in the top of the fourth inning. In the bottom of the fifth, the Goldeyes answered back. With one out, Casey Haerther doubled and Reggie Abercrombie reached base on an error by Jackals shortstop Steve Nikorak. Donnie Webb then singled in Haerther and Abercrombie scored on a sac fly from Josh Mazzola. Luis Alen finished the three-run inning with single to score Webb. The two-run lead was short lived, as Jeremy Barnes hit a lead-off home run off Goldeyes starter Matt Jackson in the top of the sixth. The Goldeyes added a run in the bottom of the eighth when Abercrombie doubled and scored a Mazzola single. From there, closer Chris Kissock locked it down in the bottom of the ninth. Abercrombie led Winnipeg at the plate with three hits, while Mazzola had a team-best two RBI. The Goldeyes actually had plenty of opportunities to extend their margin of victory, but stranded 14 men on base in the game, including at least one in every inning. Jackson battled for 5 2/3 innings to post his 10th win of the season. He gave up four runs – three were earned – and struck out two. Kissock fanned three Jackals in the ninth, and worked around a hit and an error, for his 15th save of the season. New Jersey starter Anthony Ferrara suffered the loss after giving up five runs in 4 2/3 innings. Eddie Jackson Jersey . So much so that even a simple foul pop up to the first baseman turned into a run. Houstons four-run rally in the ninth inning to beat the Seattle Mariners 6-4 on Monday night was capped by a bizarre play that started as Crowe fouled out to first baseman Justin Smoak with runners on second and third. Charles Tillman Jersey . Modin, 36, tallied seven goals and three assists in 36 games with the Thrashers this season. The Sundsvall, Sweden, native has posted 232 goals and 230 assists in 894 career NHL games with Toronto, Tampa Bay, Columbus, Los Angeles and Atlanta and has appeared in 57 post-season contests, helping the Lightning capture the 2004 Stanley Cup Championship. http://www.custombearsjersey.com/custom-...1906t.html.

The No. 5 Aztecs held Burton, the Mountain Wests leading scorer, to 11 points, 10 below his average, in beating the Wolf Pack 73-58 on Saturday night. "When you are playing half court and they are doing their pressing, run and jump defence, they really did a good job of helping on him," Nevada coach David Carter said. "Youve got to give them credit, too. He was looking for it but they played good defence and really got us out of rhythm." Xavier Thames scored 17 points, Winston Shepard had 16 and SDSU tied the school record with its 20th straight win. The Aztecs (21-1, 10-0 Mountain West) matched the 20-game win streak by the 2010-11 team, which won its first 20 games before losing at BYU. That team was the first in school history to reach the NCAA round of 16 after getting the programs first victories in the NCAA tournament. It finished 34-3, best in team history. The current Aztecs are the first to open league play 10-0. SDSU was coming off a 67-65 win at Boise State in which it erased a 14-point deficit before winning on a 3-point shot by Dwayne Polee II with four seconds left. The Aztecs only loss was a 69-60 home defeat to then-No. 6 Arizona on Nov. 14. Jerry Evans Jr. scored 17 points for Nevada (12-12, 7-4). After taking control late in the first half, Saan Diego State pulled away in the second half.dddddddddddd The Aztecs went on a 7-0 run to go up 55-41 with 10:57 left. Aqeel Quinn hit a 3-pointer, JJ OBrien made two free throws after he was fouled hard by Burton and Dwayne Polee had a steal and a layup. After Nevadas Michael Perez made a 3-pointer, Winston Shepard took a pass from Matt Shrigley for a baseline dunk and then made a layup for a 59-44 lead. The Wolf Pack closed to 61-52 on a layup and 3-pointer by Evans before the Aztecs quickly pushed the lead back to 15. Josh Davis had a layup, Shepard a bank shot and Davis a steal and a slam dunk. "They played good pressure defence the whole game," Evans said. "That is a great group and everyone that played contributed. They were too much to overcome tonight. You spend a lot of energy getting the ball past half court. For 40 minutes it is tough to even run a play. "We just gave up baskets at the wrong time and they were getting to the free throw line." The Aztecs closed the first half on a 7-0 run -- including two free throws and a layup by Josh Davis -- for a 37-31 lead. It would have been a 9-0 run by Dwayne Polee missed an easy layup with three seconds left. Shepard made two straight shots for a 30-26 lead before the Wolf Pack went up 31-30 on Ronnie Stevens shot off a rebound and AJ Wests three-point play. 01:26ET 09-02-14 ' ' '
