Round # 6 with the Hoppers tonight

We were all hoping for a win over the Hoppers last night, and WOW did we ever get one!  The Railroaders extended their streak to 7 straight wins and ended Hoptown's desire of achieving the same.  Adding the 15 runs scored last evening brings the total runs for the last seven games to 72, that's 4 more than the previous 15 games combined to start the season.  The 4 home runs hit last night (in Hoptown BTW) has the Railroaders totaling 22 on the year, 2 more than all the other five teams combined.  The Railroader bats have come alive!

Tonight's game at the Yard with the Hoppers will get both teams over the hump towards completion of the 45 game schedule.  The Hoppers remain in 1st place by 3 games over both the Oilers and Railroaders in 2nd place.  Hoptown has taken 3 of 5 Rounds with the Railroaders with 3 more to go in the season. Tonight's game will be Round 6 and time for the Railroaders to even the season fight.  But the Hoppers will not go lightly into that good night, we need to be on our toes.  They enjoy being at the top of the standings, and it will take ever win we can get to overtake them.

The forecast for Saturday night's game is looking pretty good, both weather and action.  Let's all get to the Yard and back the Railroaders up as the try to take another victory over the Hoppers.
