The 24-12 Bombers are trying to hold on with a 2 game lead, and have 4 games remaining to play. Should the Railroaders catch and tie the records with the Bombers, the Railroaders would win the first seed. How? The first tiebreaker would be best head-to-head record, and after last night’s Railroader defeat of the Bombers that stands and ends at 5-5. The second tiebreaker is total runs scored between the two teams, the Railroaders with 53 to the Bombers 43 runs.
The 20-15 Miners aren’t out of the mix either. They are only 1½ games behind the Railroaders and have their best chance in taking the 2nd seed from the Railroaders. If these two tie in the standings, the Miners win out with a better 6-4 record against the Railroaders. With 5 games left the Miners have a long shot to catch the Bombers, and the teams meet tonight for the first of two games remaining together.
For the Railroaders to take the regular season pennant the task is simple, keep winning and hope the Bombers drop 2 or more games of 4 remaining. The Railroaders play a doubleheader tonight with the 14-20 Hoppers who still have 6 games left to play. The Railroaders will finish their final two games at home on Monday against the Oilers and Tuesday with the Hoppers one more time. Then everyone head to the Post-Season Playoff Championship rounds.
The Railroader bats have been hot lately in winning 6 of their last 7 games, the only loss coming from final inning errors on the defense. If the boys can play well in the field, the Railroaders have a reasonable chance (with help) to take 1st seed. Focus on that and we at least should secure the 2nd seed soon.
First game tonight is at 5 pm, each game scheduled for 7 innings. It will be hot both on and off the field. See you at the Yard or online Teamline.
Michigan on board. Go Railroaders!
