Ahead by a game

Those Oilers may be short on the roster, but sure play hard! Would have been nice to have beaten them both games, but there’s 2 more today and our chance to keep everyone else chasing us! Yes, that’s correct, the Railroaders are a full game ahead in first. The Firebirds flew from Fulton to Union City on Saturday and soiled the Greyhounds in a close game. The Birds will stay in UC again today for a doubleheader while the Railroaders face off with the Oilers again for the last of our 3 weekend doubleheaders. We’re 3 or 4 after the first two this weekend and the guys are playing good ball. I have full confidence they will continue their winning ways today. The second game last night was a bit disappointing, but it’s behind us. Seven games left in the regular season and two of them tonight. Let’s keep the boiler pressure up and the train steaming toward first place!

NOTE: Although the KIT League site list a double loss for us last night, it is incorrect. Confusion may have occurred because in our first game with the Oilers, we were the visiting team. The game was a make up for a rainout in Owensboro, allowing them to have the home team spot for the game. So the box score page for the game is correct showing us as the visitors. The Railroaders site is correct.
