Thoughts on the game: The Railriders escaped tonight with a victory. Impressive game by the Railriders. Only one player in the lineup didn't have a hit but that one player ended up having a productive at-bat with a sacrifice bunt. Luis Cessa was great despite getting the no-decision. Not issuing a walk. The Bats 1-2-3 hitters were impressive with each of them having two hits.
Up Next: The Railriders conclude their three game set with the Louisville Bats. Chad Green takes on Lisalverto Bonilla.
