Shifting into high gear

We are in a groove now! Winning the doubleheader in Owensboro and the Hounds falling to the Cats puts us right we want with 9 games left. No letting up now, we need to maintain or even extend our 1 game lead over Union City. The Railroaders face off with the Oilers again for 2 more game on Friday and Saturday nights. Let’s keep the pressure on and finish this race strong. It’s in our control, so let’s control it! Great job on the short road trip. Only 3 more regular season road games to go, with Cats in Marion. We finish off the season at home with the Pirates by next week’s end.

There's still pently of race left. Our pace is good and strong. As long as we focus and continue to play well, we'll do just fine. We need all the Railroader Fans out this weekend and next to cheer the guys on as they head for the finish line!

  6. Rule wise, the starting pitcher must complete at least 5 innings, McClung only threw 3. Of the relief pitchers, 4 in all, the following comment on MLB Rule 10.17(b) applies:

    . . . It is the intent of Rule 10.17(b) that a relief pitcher pitch at least one complete inning or pitch when a crucial out is made, within the context of the game (including the score), in order to be credited as the winning pitcher. If the first relief pitcher pitches effectively, the official scorer should not presumptively credit that pitcher with the win, because the rule requires that the win be credited to the pitcher who was the most effective, and a subsequent relief pitcher may have been most effective. The official scorer, in determining which relief pitcher was the most effective, should consider the number of runs, earned runs and base runners given up by each relief pitcher and the context of the game at the time of each relief pitcher’s appearance..."

    Tingle put down 4 straight batters to end the game.
