Which Team Tonight

Tale of Two Teams
The Stallions were held to only 2 earned runs and the three Railroader pitchers threw a firm game walking only 3 batters, giving up 3 hits and struck out 12 batters, a reversal from the night before. And they held on strong to finish the final inning. Two Fulton errors did not factor in Stallion scoring thanks to the pitching performance.
At the plate the Railroaders were hot kicking out 10 hits to produce 8 earned runs. A big 4th inning showed the guys sending ten men to the plate to get 6 runs from 6 hits that included 2 doubles, a triple and one homerun. Another 2 RBI homerun was added in 5th.
All this is good and needs to be carried over into tonight’s game at Dubois against the 3-1 Bombers. I believe the guys are finding their Moxie as a Team. Tonight’s game should tell us even more. Friday’s home game with the River Dawgs should be a show to watch.

Here’s How I See It!
The Railroaders travel to Hendersonville tonight for another game with the 3-0 Full Count Rhythm. After losing the first 2 home games, the Railroaders need a second road victory to even their record.
After 3 games: The Opponents have struck out 42 Railroaders at the plate, while Fulton pitching struck down 23 players. That needs fixing!
Our pitching ERA is at 6.33. Of the total 27 runs scored against us, 8 were unearned.
Fulton totaled 13 errors in the three games while the opponents had 5 total (that needs work, too) .
At the plate we are at a .220 AVG with a .365 OBA (19 batters who walked help that average).
Enough said. Once thing for sure, the hometown fans are fired up at the Yard and ready for seasonal Railroader baseball. Tomorrow Fulton hosts the Muhlenberg Stallions, weather permitting, 7:05 start.

Hoghead Is Back
After the first 2 completed games for 2021 the Railroaders
find themselves with a 1-1 record and 42 regular season games to go. For sure,
its too early to know how we’ll shape up at this point. That said, there are a few
interesting points to look at after these early games..
Bottom line for me is this: We haven’t had a .500 or above season record since 2015. Consider this: We were never below .500 in season for 10 straight, 2006-2015! I think we need to turn the tide and make this a winning year! Let’s Go Railroaders and beat the Hoppers at the Yard tonight, game time is 6:00 p.m..

Hoghead has been found, but......
Hoghead hit the road after the 2018 season to travel the world by train. Unfortunately he was hit by a train out west while trying to catch it.
He may be gone, but his spirit and love for the Railroaders remain.

Final Blog Entry
To all of the Railroader owners, players and fans, it has been a great pleasure cheering and working with everyone. I especially want to thank David (a.k.a. Boilerstoker), who has made working in the press box a lot of fun. Finally, I want to wish the best to all the past and future players and people involved with the Fulton Railroaders.
Time now for me to move on! Go Railroaders!
