Oilers and Railroaders go at it in the Yard

The second place Oilers took down the Hoppers last night in Hopkinsville to pull with a game of the OVL leader.  The Railroaders swept over the Miners in two games to move into third place and now trail the Hoppers by 5 1/2 games. 

Tonight's contest in Fulton means a lot for both the Railroaders and Oilers as the mid-season point is fast approaching.  The Railroaders (8-9) need the game to get back to .500 with more aspiration toward gaining ground on both the Oilers and Hoppers (who are idle tonight).   The Oilers (13-5) and have beaten the Hoppers twice in four meeting between the two teams.  Owensboro eyes are focused on taking Hoptown out and a currently on a 3 game winning streak..

The Railroaders have played the Oilers 4 times thus far in the season, splitting the wins and losses 2-2..  With to straight wins at the moment, the Railroaders should be able to beat the Oilers at home.  Looking at the numbers, errors will be the difference in the game.  The Railroaders will need to play a clean ballgame, and be aggressive both at the plate and on base.  Should be great game, so come on out to the Yard or join us on TeamLine.
