KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The Kansas City Monarchs erased several multi-run deficits Sunday and ultimately defeated the Winnipeg Goldeyes 12-11 in ten innings at Legends Field.
Centre fielder and former big-leaguer Aaron Whitefield’s bloop single to centre field in the bottom of the tenth inning brought third baseman Gavin Collins home with the winning run. Kansas City had tied the game two batters earlier when Collins singled up the middle to score first baseman Brian O’Grady.

There were four home runs in the game. Winnipeg first baseman Hidekel Gonzalez hit his seventh of the season — a three-run shot to right field in the sixth that gave the Goldeyes a 9-5 lead. Catcher Jackson Smith led off the seventh inning with his second of the year, also to right field, that put Winnipeg up 10-8. O’Grady and Collins went back-to-back to start the bottom of the sixth inning for the Monarchs.
Matt Hartman (1-1), Kansas City’s fifth pitcher of the afternoon, was the winner. Winnipeg’s Samuel Adames (0-2) was charged with the loss.
The Goldeyes now travel to Sioux City, Iowa where they will open a three-game series against the Explorers at Lewis & Clark Park Monday at 7:05 p.m. Marc-Andre Habeck (1-1, 4.45 ERA) is expected to start for Winnipeg with fellow right-hander Trenton Toplikar (1-1, 4.29 ERA) getting the call for Sioux City.
