The long ball has the Winnipeg Goldeyes coming home with a chance to clinch the series. Winnipeg hit three home runs to beat the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks 5-3 Thursday night before 1,944 fans, including a vocal group of Goldeyes fans. The Goldeyes now have a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five American Association Divisional Series. Winnipeg starter Chris Salamida and Fargo starter Alex Caldera were unbeatable early on, as they both shutout the other side for the first five innings. Like in Game 1, Fargo struck first, as Ryan Delgado, who didn`t play in Game 1, hit a three-run homer off Salamida to give the RedHawks a 3-0 lead. Winnipeg replied half an inning later. Barbaro Canizares doubled to start the top of the seventh inning and Josh Mazzola followed him with a two-run home run to cut Fargos lead to 3-2. After Kevin Fuqua got the first out of the top of the eighth inning for the RedHawks, Fargo manager brought in his closer Tom Boleska to finish the game. However, with two out, Yurendell de Caster tied the game with a solo homer off Boleksa to tie the game. Then, after a single from Canizares, Mazzola crushed his second dinger of the game to give the Goldeyes their first lead of the game at 5-3. Mazzola led Winnipeg with four RBI in the game, while Canizares had a team-best three hits. After going 1-for-12 in Game 1, de Caster, Canizares and Mazzola combined to go 7-for-12 in Game 2. Salamida went six innings and struck out six in a quality start, but takes a no decision. Chris Allen, Zach Baldwin and Brian Beuning came in to pitch three scoreless innings of relief. Baldwin got the win, while Beuning earned the save for the second straight night. Caldera gave up just the home run to Mazzola in his six innings of work and also takes a no decision. Boleska, who was the American Associations Relief Pitcher of the Year during the regular season, gets hit with the loss after surrendering the two home runs in the eighth inning. Game 3 of the series goes Friday night in Winnipeg at Shaw Park and the Goldeyes can win their first playoff series since 2003 with a victory. 10-game winner Matt Rusch will take the ball for Winnipeg. He will face Fargos Paul Burnside.

Hes starting 2012 out front. Edwards, who lost the championship last season on a tie-breaker to Tony Stewart, won the pole for the season-opening Daytona 500, beating teammate Greg Biffle for the top starting spot during a windy Sunday qualifying session at Daytona International Speedway. Edwards turned a lap at 194.738 miles per hour -- the fastest pole-winning speed since Jeff Gordons lap of 195.067 m.p.h. in 1999. Biffle was second at 194.087 to give Ford and Roush Fenway Racing a sweep of the front row. "Its so neat to come down here and to be so fast and to really have fun qualifying here," Edwards said. "These are the best race cars weve ever had at Daytona. Coming down here I didnt even consider the pole, so this is huge." Biffle was not as thrilled. "Im a little disappointed," Biffle said. "I hate the wind. I guess if youre out sailing, its good. It was singing down the back, but coming down the front I just got a big gust of wind coming off of (turn) four ... I knew I didnt have it." Edwards and Biffle were the only two drivers to lock down their starting positions in Daytonas unique qualifying format. The rest of the starting order for next Sundays race is set through Thursdays twin 150-mile qualifying races. But only four starting spots are up for grabs. NASCAR guarantees starting spots to the top 35 teams from last season, three spots go to the fastest drivers in time trials not already locked in and one spot goes to a previous NASCAR champion. The drivers who earned starting spots in qualifying were defending race winner Trevor Bayne, Tony Raines, David Stremme and former NASCAR champion Terry Labonte. Clint Bowyer, making his debut for Michael Waltrip Racing, was 22nd in qualifying but had his time thrown out when his car failed inspection. NASCAR said Bowyer will have to start last in Thursdays qualifying race, but thats the only penalty his No. 15 team will face. Scott Miller, vice-president of competition for MWR, said he doesnt think starting in the back is too big of a blow for Bowyer. "As far as the 150 goes, youre going to be to the front and to the back of that thing," Miller said. "Our competitiveness and our ability to go win the 150 hasnt changed any." Danica Patrick was 29th in qualifying, but is guaranteed a spot in her first Daytonna 500 based on a business deal Stewart Haas Racing made with Tommy Baldwin Racing.ddddddddddddPatrick goes into the season with the points Dave Blaney earned for Baldwin last season, and gets into the 500 because it was a top-35 team last year. "To say I wasnt nervous at all is a lie," she said. "Of course I was, a little bit. I want to do a good job." She watched Saturday nights exhibition Budweiser Shootout from the spotter stand, and is anxious to run in the qualifying race Thursday to get a feel for the pack racing. NASCAR made significant tweaks to the rules package during the off-season to break up the two-car tandem and return racing to the fan-preferred pack. "Im not completely unfamiliar with the pack," she said. Edwards, meanwhile, is eager to race and put 2011 behind him once and for all. His loss to Stewart in the championship race was gut-wrenching, and despite holding his head high and demonstrating how to lose with dignity, hes been unable to move forward because of the intense attention on his defeat. "It seems like every media question and all anybody says is, How great would it have been to have one more point and how did you deal with that this off-season? Edwards said. "I think this is nice to come here and show everyone that, hey, it isnt just talk. Everybody at Roush Fenway went back and worked hard and kept their heads down and dug. "This is very special. Its not a driving accomplishment. This is a team accomplishment, this pole." It gave Roush his first sweep of the Daytona 500 front row, but marked the third time in 12 years Ford drivers have taken the top two spots. It also comes on the heels of Fords victory last month in the prestigious Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona sports car race. "What a way to start the season," said Jamie Allison, director of Ford Racing. "Our Fords are fast." Edwards won his pole without crew chief Bob Osborne, who missed the weekend events at Daytona after the death of his father. Chip Bolin filled in for Osborne, and helped Edwards to his first career pole at Daytona. "We felt like this was the best crop of superspeedway cars we had brought to the race track in a long time," Bolin said. "Our entire organization was really confident. Bob has built this program on steady, calculated moves and we just tried to execute the plan that he expected us to do here and here we are."
