The Flash return to Fulton tonight

The Railroaders have won 3 or 4 games over the last three days. Tonight they take on the Henderson Flash at the Yard. The two teams met last Tuesday with the Flash winning that game. In fact, the Flash have beaten the Railroaders 3 of 4 games thus far this season. We’ll see if Fulton can improve on that today.

With only 12 games left in the regular season, it’s important for the Railroaders to finish strong before the post-season playoffs begin. With the exception of their terrible loss on Wednesday of one game in a doubleheader, the guys are looking pretty darn good. I expect a win tonight.

The temperature will be better today as a cooler front has past through. So come on out to the Yard for baseball tonight and tomorrow when the Railroaders take on the Hoppers Sunday. See you there!

July 4th with Chiefs and Fireworks

The Paducah Chiefs ride into Fulton today for a game with the Railroaders. Game start today will be 5:30 PM CDT and Fireworks to follow. After last night loss to the Flash, we’re looking for some favorable fireworks on the field to get the Railroader back in the win column.

Win or lose the game should be a good one. The Chiefs have won 3 straight and will be trying to extent that streak. The Railroaders have met 4 times with the Chiefs with Paducah walking away with 3 wins. It is time to change that trend.

 Should be a fun time at the Yard today, so see you there or on Teamline.

Back to Work to Smash the Flash

The All Star break is over and time to get back to baseball. There are 17 games left to play in the regular season before the Playoffs, scheduled to begin on July 20th.

The 13-12 Henderson Flash are returning to the Yard tonight after sweeping the Stallions in a doubleheader on Monday. They did the same thing to our Railroaders when they last met in Henderson. The Railroaders did beat the Flash (our first season win) in Fulton back on June 3rd. Time for Fulton to even the season record with them tonight.

The Railroaders showed poise and persistence on Saturday in overcoming the Miners in a tough game. The losing streak has been broken and I feel a winning streak ahead. It will be hot again at the Yard, but the grandstand is very comfortable. See you at the Yard or online TeamLine.

Time to Reinvent Yourself

Trying times are not the time to stop trying. We may be down but the only way to go is up. There are signs of sparks in our team and a little enthusiasm can spread quickly. Now is the time to fan passion and move forward, not time to wallow in disappointment.

Tonight the Miners return to Fulton for their fourth time against the Railroaders. The Miners have beaten us twice; we can even the score today. It will be hot both on and off the field. With the All Star break tomorrow, it is a good time to end our losing streak.

Let us not forget that the post-season playoffs lie ahead. A strong finish on the regular season will help propel us into the playoffs, where every team has a chance for a title. See you tonight at the Yard!

RiverDawgs again tonight at the Yard.

The 14-7 Owensboro RiverDawgs meet up the Railroaders today. The Dawgs are on top in the East and the OVL with their winning record. The Railroaders have battled Owensboro 3 time so far this season. The Railroaders won 1 of the 3, that game victory was in Fulton too. We could sure use a another triumph against them and break our 7 game losing streak.

Hopefully the weather and field will cooperate as the Railroaders try to get the train back on the track. It’s been a tough first half of the season, but not all is lost. After tonight, 21 more games to play and a lot can happen before the playoffs begin. First, we need a Win! See you at the Yard or online TeamLine.

Bombers return to the Yard

The Bombers land into the Yard today for their second season meeting with the Railroaders. The first game, last Wednesday, they attacked Fulton with 18 hits that produced a defeat for the Railroaders who mustered a 5 run score. We need to be ready to shoot them down before they drop their bombs.

The Railroaders could use a win now having lost their last 5 games. The issue doesn’t seem to be at the plate. In those 5 games, the Railroaders have had 43 hits (8.6 game avg) yielding at total of 29 runs (5.6 avg). These are numbers good enough to win.

On the flip slide, it’s another story. In our 5 losses we have allowed 65 hits (13 per game) and given up 55 runs (11 per game). 10 total errors didn’t help either. No doubt these numbers will have to change if we are to move up in the standings. I hate to say it, but a team pitching average of 8.283 ERA isn’t going to hack it.

We are at home tonight though, and with a 5-3 home record in our favor. It would nice to get a victory before a Monday day off. We need Fan support for sure. See you at Yard or on Teamline.

Stallions Tonight at the Yard

Although the early rain came down and a bit of mist is hanging around, the field has been covered. Weather radar show clearing is occurring and all should be well for the Railroaders game tonight at the Yard.

The 5-11 Stallions take on the 6-10 Railroaders tonight at the Yard. Both teams have lost their last 3 games, so someone will break that streak today. Both teams are currently in last place in their respective divisions. The two teams have only met once this season thus far with the Railroaders winning big with a 10-3 score. 

I expect a great game tonight. The Railroaders have played well but have not been able to maintain a lead through the entire game. I believe that will change tonight.

Fulton is 4 games in back of the West leading Hoppers, 3 games behind the Miners and only a game below the Chiefs. Still plenty of baseball left and things can change quickly. Come on out to the Yard tonight and help the Railroaders get started on a comeback on the first day of summer!
