Tale of Two Teams

Last night’s win over the Stallions was a solid victory and the way the Railroaders should be playing. Compared to the previous evening’s game loss to the Rhythm, I thought we were seeing a different team. Obviously the guys woke up overnight and played a great game to get Fulton their first win at home on the season.

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.
