Thoughts on the game: Wow, what a game!! Dustin Fowler tied the franchise record for hits in a game and only the fourth player in SWB history to hit for the cycle. The Railriders made a heck of a comeback in this game, scoring in the ninth. The bullpen was incredible this afternoon for the Railriders, not giving up a run after the fifth innng. Clint Frazier added his third home run of the season for the Railriders. Angel Feliz had a three run homer early in the game, tying up the game.
