In the first semi-final of the weekend, Sydney University will head into their clash with Warringah with their heads up after securing their fourth win on the trot, and knocking out Eastwood in the preliminary finals last week.The Students have dominated the Shute Shield for the past decade, and again secured the minor premiership, but will be wary of the Rats, who can easily turn a game on its head.Led by former Waratah Tom Carter, the Students have returned to their dominant and high tempo game play and will aim to use their physical forward pack to dominate the Rats at the breakdown.After enjoying a five game unbeaten streak, the Rats were shocked last week by a fast finishing Norths, and will be focused on maintaining pressure for the full 80-minutes when they take on the Students.For the Rats it will be their experienced halves, Hamish Angus and Josh Holmes, who will play a major role in bouncing back from their tight loss. Angus is once again in the running for the Ken Catchpole Medal after yet another impressive year and will be essential in the Rats push for their first finals appearance since 2005.On Sunday, Norths will be aiming to make it 12 straight wins, but face a mammoth task when they take on Southern Districts at Forshaw Park. Despite a slow start to the season, Norths have stunned several teams with strong performances to go 11 on the trot, including two wins over Manly and Warringah, in the lead up to the semi-finals.With the best defensive record in the competition, Norths will be aiming to keep the trend going against a high-flying Souths who rely heavily on their strong attacking combinations.One of those combinations is the midfield pairing of Denny Godinet and Apo Latunipulu. These two stars have led their side impressively throughout the season and played a huge role in their rousing second half against Randwick last week.Despite their strong 32-17 victory over Norths in round five, Souths will need to be wary of the confident Shoremen.SATURDAY 30TH JULYSYDNEY UNIVERSITY v WARRINGAHLIVE ON 7TWO FROM 3PM (NSW viewers only)SUNDAY 31ST JULYSOUTHERN DISTRICTS v NORTHERN SUBURBS LIVE ON 7TWO FROM 3PM?(NSW viewers only)Michael Deiter Jersey .

For manager Rick Forney, the bats could not have boomed at a better time. Once again, the Goldeyes fell behind early, as the Saints scored four runs in the top of the first. But, Winnipegs bats just boomed, as the Fish put up at least a run in the first seven innings, including six runs in the seventh. Amos Ramon finished with four hits in six at-bats, with two runs batted in and two runs scored; Ryan Scoma had three hits a walk, two runs scored and an RBI; Josh Mazzola went two-for-three with a homer, two walks, two runs scored and an RBI; Mike Coles had two hits, a walk, three runs scored and an RBI; Fehlandt Lentini had two hits, a runs scored and an RBI; and Luis Alen had a single and a double, a walk, a run scored and three RBI. “Weve been longing for that,” Forney said with a smile. “That was a good night of offense for the club. “We gave up four in the first and if you have to give up four runs in an inning, its a good thing you do it in the first.” With the victory, the Goldeyes won their third straight game, took the series from St. Paul, improved to 24-21 and moved to within three games of first-place Fargo in the American Associations North Division. “Were beginning to get some big hits and produce some RBIs,” Forney said. “Amos (Ramon) had four hits, Mike (Coles) had a big night, (Ryan) Scomas hitting the ball well, (Fehlandt) Lentini had a couple of hits, Luis (Alen) knocked in three more runs. It was a good night for the guys. Im proud of the guys. Theyre working hard and staying positive.” After St. Paul took a 4-0 lead after the first half inning – Ole Sheldon hit a three-run homer for the Saints off starter Justin Garcia – the Fish started to chip away.dddddddddddd Winnipeg put up a run in the bottom of the first, as Ramon drive home Coles with a single. Winnipeg added three runs on five hits in the second; got a solo homer from Mazzola in the third; picked up another run in the fourth; another in the fifth; one more in the sixth and then blew it open in the seventh. Leading 8-6, heading into the bottom half of seven, Nick Liles grounded out to lead it off, Coles walked, Ramon singled and then Ray Sadler lined out for the second out of the inning. But Haerther doubled in both Coles and Ramon, Mazzola walked, Lentini singled home Haerther, Scoma walked and then Luis Alen cleared the bases with a double. “The guys are having good at bats and good at bats are contagious,” Forney said. “The guys are playing with a lot of confidence. Theyve got some fight in ‘em right now.” Goldeyes starter Justin Garcia (5-1, 3.86 ERA) gave up six runs on nine hits over six complete innings, but he still got the win. Former Goldeyes lefty Aaron Correa (0-1, 19.29 ERA) started for St. Paul and took the loss. The Goldeyes will open a four-game series on Saturday night at 6:05 p.m. against the Gary SouthShore RailCats.
