Where’s that leave the Railroaders? They must fight to beat the Hoppers tonight at the Yard and hope the Bombers take out the Miners in Madisonville at the same time. Question is, will the Bombers play a good enough or slack off knowing they are already set as the #1 seed for Post-Season play.
The Miners need only to tie season records with the Railroaders to gain the #2 spot for the playoffs. That leaves the Railroaders in #3 seed. In the last 5 seasons (including pre-OVL play) the Railroaders have secured the #2 mark to finish the season. That distinction is in jeopardy tonight.
The #2 seed in the playoffs is significant for home field advantage in Round Two. The second round Best of Three series will start with a game at #3 seed’s home field. The second and third (if needed) games will be played at the #2 seed’s home park. In the first 4 years of the OVL the Railroaders have won the Post-Season Playoff title twice from the #2 position. Only the Hoppers have taken the post-season award one time starting from the #3 spot.
We’ll find out tonight at the Yard if the Fulton can take care of half the solution while monitoring the other half in Madisonville, and cheer for the Railroaders and Bombers to win.
We hope everyone can make the game for the final regular season home game in 2015. Our new TeamLine commentator; Jayce will be there with a couple of uplifting thoughts I'm sure, to urge the Railroaders towards a victory. See you at the Yard or online TeamLine.
Go Railroaders!!!! We are cheering you on
