Great pitching and multi-run innings led the Winnipeg Goldeyes to two wins in Sioux City, Iowa on Wednesday night. Kelvin Beachum Jaguars Jersey . After the Goldeyes and Sioux City Explorers game on Tuesday night was suspended due to rain, the two teams played a pseudo doubleheader on Wednesday. In the first game, the continuation of Tuesday nights matchup, the Goldeyes (47-29) topped the Explorers (33-44) by a score of 6-2. In the regularly scheduled game, which was shortened to seven innings, the Goldeyes shutout the Xs 10-0. After falling behind by two to Sioux City on Tuesday night, the Goldeyes were able to get five runs in the top of the fifth before the game was called due to the weather. The inning was highlighted by a two-run home run from Casey Haerther. "We got timely hitting last night which got us off on the right foot today," said Goldeyes Pitching Coach Jamie Vermilyea on the Jewel 101 post-game show. The Goldeyes were able to add on one more run in the sixth inning after the game resumed on Wednesday night. In the regularly scheduled Wednesday night game, the Goldeyes had two strong offensive innings, which put them ahead and gave them the win. In the top of the second Reggie Abercrombie got on base on a first pitch single. One pitch later, Luis Alen ripped a two-run home run down the left field line. The Goldeyes then generated two more runs on RBI from Donnie Webb and Tyler Kuhn. In the third the Fish would add on another run on a RBI single from Jordan Guida. The Goldeyes then really put the game away in the top of the sixth, as they scored four more runs. Abercrombie brought home three of those runs with a huge two-out three-run homer. "Reggies home run was big, he hit that ball hard and it flew a long way," said Vermilyea. "It really put the game out of reach for them." Winnipeg tacked on one more run in the top of the seventh to take a double-digit lead. The real story in both wins though was strong pitching performances. Ethan Hollingsworth started the Tuesday night rained out game and only gave up one earned run through four innings of work. Gabe Aguilar and Brendan Lafferty shut the Explorers down in the continuation of the suspended match, giving up only two hits between them and striking out seven. Nick Hernandez was the hero in Wednesday nights regularly scheduled match as he pitched the complete seven-inning game. Hernandez only gave up three hits in the shutout, and the win marked his first ever professional career complete game. "Nick went out and did his thing, his fast ball was really working, and he finished them off," said Vermilyea. "What can I say? It was a heck of a game for him." The Goldeyes now return home to take on the Wichita Wingnuts in a four-game series that begins Thursday night at 7 p.m. "We have a couple solid teams coming in on this homestand," Vermilyea said. "So it was good to get these last two wins here to get us off on the right foot coming home." Custom Jaguars Jersey . -- Falcons running back Steven Jackson, who has missed the last four games with a hamstring injury, is expected to practice on Wednesday. Prince Amukamara Jaguars Jersey .

CARSON, Calif. -- Landon Donovan broke the Major League Soccer goal record Sunday night, scoring his 135th and 136th regular-season goals in the Los Angeles Galaxys 4-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union. Playing for the first time since being cut from the U.S. World Cup team, Donovan broke a tie with Jeff Cunningham in the 49th minute with his first goal of the season, then added another in the 81st. Donovan also holds the MLS playoff record with 22 goals. Donovan scored his first goal on a counterattack, passing to Robbie Keane, who took the ball into the Union box and fed Donovan at the left post for an easy finish. After making it 4-0 in the 81st, Donovan was replaced by Brazilian forward Samuel a minute later, departing to a standing ovation from the crowd of 21,010. "Its been a long week," Donovan said. "Its hard not to make it about me, and I dont necessarily want it to be that way. But Ive sacrificed a lot to be in the position Im in and I was very happy for myself because Ive dedicated a lot to this. I think I deserved what happened today." Donovan, also the U.S. national team goals leader with 57 in 156 games, has played 311 regular-season games in 15 MLS seasons. The Jamaican-born Cunningham, a former U.S. national team player, played in 365 games over 14 seasons with Columbus, Colorado, Real Salt Lake, Toronto FC and FC Dallas. He last played in MLS in 2011. Donovan said he wasnt looking to make a statementt after coach Jurgen Klinsmanns decision not to include him in the group headed to Brazil. Nic Jacobs Jaguars Jersey. "This is my job and this is what I get paid to do, so my teammates depend on me and I think Ive played well this year, but I needed to contribute on the scoreboard, and that felt good," said Donovan, who was making his eighth appearance of the season. "Obviously, a lot of relief in some ways, a lot of joy, but I feel like Im in really good form right now, and I really feel good about how I played, and this is a continuation of how Ive played over the last few months." Donovan is No. 2 on the leagues career assists list with 120, including one on Leonardos second-minute header Sunday. Steve Ralston, a Houston Dynamo assistant coach who retired in 2010, has the record with 135. That was the first goal for Los Angeles, with Donovan delivering a free kick for Leonardo to finish. Keane scored a third in the 64th minute after a turnover by Union defender Sheanon Williams. Los Angeles (4-3-3) won consecutive games for the second time this season. Philadelphia (2-7-5), which welcomed back midfielder Maurice Edu -- also one of seven players trimmed from the 30-man World Cup preliminary roster -- lost its second game in a row and fifth in the last six outings. The Union have won just once in their last dozen games. Edu scored in the 88th minute, converting a penalty kick after Raul Mendiola fouled Zach Pfeffer. Cheap NFL Jerseys nfl jerseys china ' ' '
