WINNIPEG – The Winnipeg Goldeyes opened their exhibition schedule with a win.

The Goldeyes defeated the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks 4-0 on Wednesday at Shaw Park. Even though the Goldeyes had already secured the win, the two teams played the bottom of the ninth inning anyway. The Fish tacked on a fifth run in the ninth inning but officially it ended as a 4-0 final.

Newcomer Zach Nuding made the start on the mound for Winnipeg and tossed three scoreless innings before giving way to the bullpen. Goldeyes’ pitchers held the RedHawks to just two hits.
