Thoughts on the game: Well, despite the disastrous start to the series, the Railriders rebounded great by taking the two on Saturday and Sunday. Several players that were called up from Trenton contributed greatly today. Mike Ford went 2 for 4 with a double and a single. Chance Adams pitched great for the Railriders. He threw five scoreless inning.
