Climbing the latter safely

The rest of this week is going to be interesting as we climb the latter up the standings. Both tonight and tomorrow we face the Pirates; Thursday in Madisonville and Friday in Fulton. The Bucs have climbed into 2nd over the last couple days and have 3 straight wins under their belt. With a current record of 11-9 they've surpassed the Bobcats who have dropped 6 games in a row and have an identical record as we do at 10-11. 

On Saturday night the Railroaders travel to Marion for a single game with the Bobcats. They take Thursday off before going to Owensboro on Friday to slip and slid with the Oilers, whom I'm sure are waiting to beat them down again. And speaking of the Oilers, they are hosting the Hoppers on Thursday who are beginning to show signs of a few broken springs in they step.

Long story short, the Railroaders appear to have a full head stream now with 5 consecutive wins. They are playing their strengths to overcome weak areas which have started to improve. The guys are playing smart and cashing in on opportunities when they arise. That's Railroader baseball at it's best, and we're about to see more of it.

"Fire it Up, Boys!"   

UPDATE: With the win on Thursday, we've climbed to 3rd, tonight another game with the Pirates and a chance to step up to 2nd. Let's go get 'em!
