The second place Oilers (9-4) are sliding into Fulton
tonight for 2 games with the Railroaders.
The Oilers are coming off a fresh defeat at home against first place
Hoppers. Owensboro is playing excellent
ball. The Railroaders split a
doubleheader with the Oilers last Thursday in Owensboro, the only two games
between them thus far in the season.
Tonight will be a chance for the Railroaders to get back to .500 and
gain a half game in the standings.
On paper, the Oilers and Railroaders look evenly
matched. Team pitching ERA for Oilers
is 3.13 with the Railroaders at 3.10. Team batting averages around .236, give
or take. Slugging, OBA, walks and
strikeouts both offensive and defense are nearly the same. The only glaring difference beside the 9-4
and 5-7 records is defensive errors.
The Railroaders have committed 23 in 12 games played and the Oilers
totaled only 14 in their first 12 games.
A bright spot for Fulton may be that the Oilers had 4 errors last night
in their 13th season game against the Hoppers, while the Railroaders
were error free last night against the Miners.
The Train is rolling and we’ll need more steam for a double
win tonight. Boilerstoker and I be
firing it up for a hot time in the Yard!
Hope to see tonight in Fulton or online with TeamLine.
Watching from Chicago video streaming good.
