VANCOUVER - Vancouver Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson contemplated substituting Pedro Morales at halftime on Saturday.Hes certainly glad he didnt.After a tough opening 45 minutes, Morales scored twice in the second half as the Whitecaps fought back from being a goal down to beat Real Salt Lake 2-1.(Substituting Morales) was a conversation we had and me and one of the other coaches disagreed, so I made the decision to keep him on, said Robinson. Thank God I did.The influential midfielder missed a great chance early and had a penalty saved in first-half injury time, but rebounded to score from the spot in the 62nd minute after Real went ahead before poking home the winner in the 78th.In the second half I felt so much better a€” more confidence in my play, said Morales. I had two important goals for the team.The winner came off a shot from Whitecaps defender Steven Beitashour after substitute Kekuta Manneh made a great run down the left. Morales tore his jersey off in celebration and was mobbed by teammates as Vancouver leapfrogged the Portland Timbers into the final playoff spot in Major League Soccers Western Conference.Its tough to miss a PK, and to bounce back from that the way he did is great, Beitashour said of Morales. Thats why hes our leader. We feed off of it.Morales tied the score 1-1 midway through the second on penalty after Whitecaps striker Erik Hurtado was brought down in the area. The Chilean designated player stepped up and beat Jeff Attinella to the same side as his earlier miss to breathe life into the crowd at B.C. Place Stadium.Hes been the leader all season long. Hes been great on penalties all season long and nine times out of ten hes going to score, said Whitecaps midfielder Russell Teibert. That one doesnt go in but he bangs in another one.Were down 1-0 and maybe some people are doubting us, but this locker-room believes, our fans believe and this organization believes we can win.The goal came five minutes after Real defender Nat Borchers scored off a glancing header from a corner kick. Vancouver sagged badly after giving up the first goal in last weekends 3-0 loss in Portland, but the Whitecaps responded with energy this time.I think the reaction was the right one. We got behind each other and we got back into it, said Vancouver goalkeeper David Ousted. That was one of the reasons we go the win today, the mentality of coming back and supporting each other even though we again go behind even though we were the better team.The Whitecaps (9-8-13) came into the match two points back of Timbers for the final post-season spot in the West after their Pacific Northwest rivals suffered a 3-2 defeat at Toronto FC earlier in the day. Vancouver now leads Portland by a single point with four games remaining for each club a€” two home and two away.We can take care of our business. We cant take care of what they do, said Robinson. Today they slipped up a little bit and we took care of business, but theres still lots of points to play for.Real Salt Lake (13-7-10) needed just a draw to clinch a seventh straight playoff berth, but will instead have to wait at least one more week.Moments before giving his team the 2-1 advantage, Morales sizzled a shot at Attinella that the keeper could only push over the bar, before Reals Sebastian Jaime moved in on Ousted but couldnt get a shot on target after being pressured by a hard-charging Beitashour.After Vancouver took the lead, Manneh had a chance to ice it but decided against passing to two open teammates and instead tried going it alone against Attinella, who made a good save.Real pressed forward for a late equalizer, but never really threatened Ousteds goal.Im hot, Im sweating. It was a great game to watch if you were a neutral, said Robinson. It was difficult to watch if you were either manager. The game had everything. It had chances, it had penalties, it had wrong decisions, it had right decisions.It was good game of football and fortunately we came out with the victory.The Whitecaps have tumbled down the standings since a good start to the season, winning just three of their last 17 matches coming into Saturday.Vancouver, which had scored just two goals from open play in its last nine games, came out in its familiar 4-4-2 with a diamond midfield and had more of the ball in the first half but was unable to create much.The Whitecaps have been criticized for being too cute in trying to score goals, and both Hurtado and Teibert tried efforts from distance early that didnt trouble Attinella.Moraless two misses bookended a forgettable first half, but Robinson was pleased with how his under-fire players responded.The fight and the character that they showed today, not just Pedro but every single player in my group, Im really pleased for them. Its been tough but it was an important win, said Robinson. Sometimes you have defining moments in seasons. Maybe this might be our defining moment.Notes: Morales now has 10 goals on the season, including seven on penalties. ... Attendance was 19,395. ...

Winnipeg Goldeyes manager Rick Forney announced today the signing of right-handed pitcher Kyle Bellamy and left-handed pitcher Kyle Anderson to contracts for the 2014 season. Bellamy, 26, missed all of last season recovering from Tommy John surgery. He last pitched in 2012 in the Chicago White Sox organization, splitting time between Class A Advanced Winston-Salem of the Carolina League and Class AA Birmingham of the Southern League. He had no record, a 1.65 ERA and four saves in 18 appearances out of the bullpen with Winston-Salem. In 16 relief appearances with Birmingham, he went 1-2 with a 4.68 ERA. “Were going to give him the opportunity to pitch the ninth inning for us,” Forney said. “He had a lot of success with the White Sox organization. Unfortunately, hes had a couple seasons where hes missed significant time because of injury that has somewhat derailed his professional career. Were excited to have him. Hes a sidearm pitcher with a lot of deception in his delivery. We think he can be the perfect fit for us at the back of the bullpen.” Bellaamy was selected by the White Sox in the fifth round of the 2009 MLB Amateur Draft and played three seasons in their system, including parts of two summers at Class AA.dddddddddddd He missed the entire 2011 season due to a shoulder injury. He attended spring training with the White Sox earlier this month before being released. Anderson, 23, has played the last two seasons in the Toronto Blue Jays organization after being signed as a free agent following his college career at Cal Poly. In 15 starts with Class A Short Season Vancouver of the Northwest League last season, he went 5-3 with a 2.71 ERA. All five of his starts that went at least six innings were quality starts. “Hes a young left-hander that were going to insert into our starting rotation,” Forney said. “He competes well in the strike zone, has tremendous command, great mechanics and hes a really reliable guy. Hes exactly what I was looking for in the back of my rotation.” The Goldeyes now have 23 players signed for the 2014 season, including 12 pitchers and 11 position players.
