Frieri got Goeddel to strike out swinging to give the Railriders their third straight win 10-2 over Louisville.

Thoughts on the game: Best offensive game of the season by the Railriders. Refsnyder had a heck of a game, hitting a double and a home run. Choi also had a great game with three hits and drove in two. Tejada keeps on proving he belongs on a major league roster, has he drove in 3 RBIs tonight and has a team-leading 8 RBIs on the season.

Up Next: The Railriders conclude their three game series in Louisville. Luis Cessa gets the start for the Railriders. The Bats will go with Lisalverto Bonilla.
