The Winnipeg Goldeyes came out of an offensive funk in a big, big way Thursday night. Every Goldeyes player had a hit and the team scored seven runs in the second inning, as Winnipeg blasted the Sioux City Explorers 9-2 to take two of three games in the series and earn franchise win 100 over the Xs. The win pushes Winnipegs record to 20-18 on the season and moves the Goldeyes two games back of the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks for first place in the American Associations North Division. Winnipeg still has two games in hand on Fargo. The Goldeyes did all their scoring early Thursday night. Leonard Davis hit a two-run home run in the top of the first inning to begin the offensive onslaught for Winnipeg. The Goldeyes had gone five consecutive games without a home run. In the second inning for Winnipeg, Nate Samson had an RBI single, Mike Coles had a two RBI single, Jordan Guida scored on Nick Liles fielders choice, Davis doubled in Coles, and Luis Alen had a two-run single. Sioux City replied with two runs in the bottom of the second inning, but neither team touched home plate after that. Alen paced Winnipeg with three knocks, while Leonard Davis and Amos Ramon each had a pair of hits. Davis led the team with three RBI. Winnipegs nine-run showing was the most by the team since an 11-3 win against the St. Paul Saints on June 17. In the seven-game since then, the Goldeyes averaged 2.9 runs per game. Goldeyes starter Pete Gehle earned the win after throwing seven solid innings. He struck out two, walked four and allowed just the two runs in the second inning for his second quality start of the season. Rookie relievers Kaohi Downing and Gabe Aguilar each pitched an inning of scoreless relief for the Fish. Sioux City starter Dan Jurik surrendered all nine of Winnipeg runs and suffered the loss.

LONDON -- To hear Serena Williams and her coach tell it, the process of getting her ready to win Wimbledon for a record-tying 22nd Grand Slam title began with a series of chats over the phone not long after her loss in the French Open final.That setback in Paris marked the third consecutive major tournament that Williams left without the trophy, which to any other tennis player would not be a big deal but to the 34-year-old American represented a real drought.So she and Patrick Mouratoglou touched base repeatedly to hash it all out.I was just talking through things, and how I was disappointed that I lost the French, and what I needed to do, to do better at Wimbledon. We were strategizing a lot, Williams told a small group of reporters in her last of many interviews Saturday night, about 7 hours after beating Angelique Kerber 7-5, 6-3 for the championship at the All England Club.It wasnt one conversation, Williams said. We talked for at least five -- so many times. Almost every day. Just to try to feel what I needed to do and what was going to be done.At some point during that period, Williams sent a text message to Mouratoglou that he found full of meaning.He said he recognized that I was different and I was back to who I am, usually, Williams said. And I was like, `What does that mean? He just said that he felt I was different when I sent that text. He was very encouraged by it, and we were able to build on it.Recalled Mouratoglou on Saturday: I felt like the Serena I know was back. ... Back to thinking the way she thinks.That was important, he knew, because it wasnt as if she had forgotten how to play, of course, or allowed her skills to erode, even if she already was the oldest woman to be ranked No. 1 and the oldest to win a major title.dddddddddddd.He realized he hadnt quite seen the same person ever since Williams bid for a calendar-year Grand Slam in 2015 ended with a loss to Roberta Vinci in the U.S. Open semifinals, one of the biggest surprises in tennis history.After that came defeats for Williams in two Grand Slam finals, against Kerber at the Australian Open, then against Garbine Muguruza at Roland Garros.Thinking back to what happened in New York, Mouratoglou said: Either she or I -- we both -- didnt know she was that hurt. I think it took a lot of time. She was not herself.During the past two weeks at Wimbledon, Williams certainly did appear to be back to possessing the confident, all-powerful presence the world is accustomed to seeing and hearing -- on and off the court.One day, I woke up and I just felt different, Williams said, referring to those days after the French Open. I felt like: I can do better. I can do this. Not only can I do this, Im going to do this, and theres nothing in this world thats going to stop me.That was evident in her play, to be sure, particularly in that spectacular serve, which produced 13 aces at up to a tournament-leading 124 mph against Kerber.And it was evident in her words, most succinctly when a reporter asked after the semifinals what Williams makes of it when others refer to her as one of historys greatest female athletes.She replied: I prefer the word, one of the greatest `athletes of all time.Well put.---AP Sports Writer Stephen Wilson contributed to this report.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ' ' '
