A long shot to take first place still exist. The best scenario would be for the Hoppers to drop 4 or their 5 remaining games, and the Railroaders complete a 6 games winning streak to finish out the season. A tall order, I know, but not impossible. An identical record between us would result in a tie breaker in which we would win for our 6-4 record against the Hoppers.
Second seed in the standings is a more urgent task ahead of us. The Pirates are only 1 game behind us in 3rd. Tradewater is idle tonight and the Railroaders head to Madtown on Friday to face the Pirates. Our final game with the Bucs is Saturday at the Yard.
The Railroaders end the regular season on Sunday with a rescheduled doubleheader with the Oilers in Owensboro. I see no reason why we can't finish strong and improve our record to Railroaders standards. Post Season Playoffs are scheduled to begin on Tuesday next week.
Tonight is an important start toward the final race to the finish. The Bobcats have played us tough this year, but our guys are up to the task. We'll need as many Fans as we can get in the Yard to help cheer the guys on. So come on out to the Yard and enjoy some great Railroader baseball.
"Fire it Up!"
