Road trip to battle the Bulls

Sorry I was late getting back from Sikeston. I had no trouble hopping a train up there, but ended up in cattle car on the way back. Need I say more? Great game against the Bulls last night to start off the playoffs. I didn’t panic when we fell behind first or again later in the game, the guys just kept at it and it paid off again. The Bulls bats were pretty hot at times, but 13 strikeouts by Craycraft when we needed them limited the scoring to 2. After walking the first Bull in the 9th with our 3 run lead, I did get a bit concerned, but Chris’ one, two, three strikeouts on the next 3 would be hitters eased my anxiety a little with each swing and miss of the bat. Pitching was pretty good on both sides, but the Railroaders made the most of what they got and stopped several attempts by the Bulls to run rampant around the bases.

We’re not through with Bulls yet! Remember that cattle car? Yea, they have followed me into town and intend on coming to Lohaus Field tonight for some grazing, snorting, and mischief on the ball field. We are going to need everyone out there tonight to help put the Bulls back onto the train and send them home to Sikeston.

  2. Tonights Prediction

    Bulls 7
    Roaders 4

    Bulls derail Fulton as Washington ropes single to right in the 4th scoring the go ahead runs, and Bull pitching blanks the Roaders in the 8th and 9th. Series tied at 1-1. Oh well,......
