oing to be and how much work we have ahead

In the midst of a terrible slump, Amos Ramon stepped up to play the heros role at Shaw Park on Tuesday night. With 6,147 fans cheering wildly, Ramon delivered a bases-loaded double in the bottom of the eighth inning to drive home two runs and give the Winnipeg Goldeyes a 6-4 win over the visiting Sioux Falls Canaries. Coming to the plate zero-for-three on the evening and one-for-36 in his last 11 games, Ramon took a fastball the opposite way to score pinch-runner Jordan Guida, along with Josh Mazzola, as the Goldeyes came back from a 4-1 deficit after an inning an a half to score one in the second, two in the seventh and two more in the eighth. With the win, the Goldeyes got back to .500 at 30-30, won their third straight game and stayed seven-and-a-half games back of the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks in the race for first in the American Associations North Division. It was also a great way to start an 11-games-in-10-days homestand. "Amos has been scuffling lately, but hed lined out earlier in the ball game and after that he took some better swings and had some better at-bats," said Goldeyes manager Rick Forney. "You know how Amos can be when he gets going, when he heats up and gets some confidence. Maybe that was the hit that will get him going again. "Were going to let Amos play through it. Hes been scuffling, but hes done a lot of great things for us the past couple of years and hes earned everybodys patience." Sioux Falls opened the scoring with three runs in the first off of Goldeyes starter Matt Rusch, but Winnipeg answered with a single run in the bottom of the first, as Tyler Graham singled, stole second and scored on a single by Ryan Scoma. After Sioux Falls took a 4-1 lead in the top of the second, the Goldeyes answered with a run in the bottom of the second as Fehlandt Lentini doubled, stole third and scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Luis Alen. The Goldeyes tied the game in the seventh, as Alen walked and went to third on a single by Tyler Graham. Graham stole second and then Alen scored on an error by Sioux Falls shortstop Cory Morales. Graham then came home on a double by Ray Sadler and the Goldeyes had tied it up at 4-4. That set up Winnipegs huge eighth inning. Casey Haerther had a terrific at bat to lead off the inning and drilled a single to centre. Mazzola then walked and Haerther was replaced by pinch-runner Jordan Guida. Lentini laid down a bunt that moved Guida and Mazzola up 90 feet, Alen was walked intentionally and then Ramon delivered the double that won the ball game. Brendan Lafferty (2-1, 4.65 ERA) got the win in relief of Rusch, who was rock solid through seven innings after a rough first inning. Closer Patrick Keating earned his 12th save. Sioux Falls reliever Kirk Clark (0-3, 4.37 ERA) suffered the loss in relief of starter Mitchell Clegg who allowed only two runs on six hits through six innings. The Goldeyes and Canaries will meet in Game 2 of this three-game series on Wednesday night, 7:00 p.m. at Shaw Park. Pete Gehle will get the start for Winnipeg, while Adam Champion will take the ball for Sioux Falls.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Rex Ryan didnt wait long before turning his attention directly from his teams first win towards Buffalos next opponent.Hey, you know, I can sit back and say I dont care who plays quarterback because I know (Tom) Brady aint, Ryan said Monday, looking ahead at Sundays road game against the New England Patriots.I dont care who plays quarterback. (Former Patriot) Steve Grogan can play quarterback. If (Bill) Belichicks playing quarterback, were coming after him. I promise you that.And asked on a conference call with the Buffalo media what he thinks of Ryans antics regarding him, Belichick said, Were really focused on Buffalos football team and their coaching staff and what were going to have to play against and prepare for on Sunday.If you havent been keeping up with the Patriots, you dont know Brady is serving his four-game Deflategate suspension. Jimmy Garoppolo took over as the starter and was almost six quarters into that new role when he hurt his right shoulder. Enter rookie Jacoby Brissett, who finished the second game of the season and then won his starting debut in Week 3, a shutout against the Houston Texans. But Brissett hurt his thumb in the game.Garoppolo and Brissett both played well, and the Patriots have gone 3-0 heading into this game against the 1-2 Bills.While all this was going on, slot receiver Julian Edelman, a quarterback in college, was the emergency guy -- and was seen as the starter this week if neither young player could make it.But Garoppolo and Brissett were back at practice Tuesday. Both were listed as having limited participation on Wednesdays injury report.As far as facing the possibility of Edelman playing, Ryan said, I know how difficult it is to defend against a running quarterback. We have to be ready in case Edelman is at quarterback, right? I have a funny feeling he isnt going to be Brady back there.Garoppolo and Brissett might not be Brady, either. But clever game plans by offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels made it seems like Brady, who returns for Game 5 at Cleveland, wasnt even missing.I think the process weve gone through is really the same, McDaniels said Monday. I know the variables change, but I dont think anybody here ever considers anything adversity.Last week against the Houston Texans, McDaniels took some of the pressure off Brissett by ccalling an option (13 yards) and a bootleg (a 27-yard touchdown run) for the rookie.dddddddddddd The Patriots also called three handoffs to Edelman and a tight end reverse by Martellus Bennett.The Bills lost to the Baltimore Ravens and New York Jets before, with new offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn, surprising the Cardinals 33-18.I think the Arizona game really highlights how good they are, how tough its going to be and how much work we have ahead of us, said Belichick.Ryan and his defensive coordinator brother, Rob, changed up their defense, bringing more pressure on Carson Palmer than they had brought on Ryan Fitzpatrick the previous game. It worked well -- and you have to think theyll bring it again this week.The Patriots have won 28 of the last 32 games against the Bills and are 72-21 against other AFC East teams in the regular season since 2001. Buffalo has won only once at Gillette Stadium, and that was the final game of the 2014 regular season, with the Patriots resting players for the playoffs.LeGarrette Blount has been dynamic running the ball for the Patriots, who have also had to survive with a rebuilt offensive line. On the other side of the ball, theyve been without Chandler Jones (traded), Rob Ninkovich (suspended, one more game) and Donta Hightower (knee). Hightower was listed as having limited participation Wednesday.Blount has run for 298 yards and four touchdowns (at least one in each game), turning in the teams first back-to-back 100-yard games since 2012.The Patriots, lit up for almost 400 yards over the last three quarters by Ryan Tannehill, was near perfect against Houston, and the special teams produced two fumbles that led to touchdowns.New England has seven takeaways in the last two games.Buffalo quarterback Tyrod Taylor, dangerous with his legs, is 47 of 77 for 527 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions but also ripped off a 49-yard run and another for 20 and a touchdown last week. LeSean McCoy has run for 227 yards and three touchdowns.Wide receiver Sammy Watkins, who missed the Arizona game with a foot injury, was still not back at practice Wednesday. But the Bills might get massive left tackle Cordy Glenn back. He was limited Wednesday. ' ' '
