Game 1
Winnipeg 6, RedHawks 2
After Friday night's wild 12-11 RedHawk win in which each team hit a grand slam in the eighth inning, hits weren't as easy to come by in this game. Three of the RedHawks five hits came in the final seventh inning.
Winnipeg's Kevin West extended his hitting streak to 21 games with an RBI double in the third inning. The streak started on June 21.
Winnipeg's Dee Brown, the leading hitter in the Northern League, had an RBI double in the third to make it 3-0.

Game 2
RedHawks 5, Goldeyes 4
The RedHawks took a 4-0 lead in the second inning. The rally started with a two-run homer by Alan Rick. Mike Coles scored from third on a pickoff attempt at first. Nic Jackson singled in Zach Penprase.
With two stolen bases in the first inning, Coles increase his season total to 17 stolen bases.
"Cue the circus music," RedHawks general manager Josh Buchholz said during the fifth inning. That's when RedHawks' pitcher Scott Fogelson caught first baseman Randall Simon's hook shot lob off the bag for the first out; rightfielder Mike Coles spun around to catch a high flyball for the second out before Winnipeg's Adam Frost was caught in a rundown on a pickoff at first base.
Juan Diaz' two-run homer in the sixth inning tied the score 4-4.
