Patrick Mincey gave up just one run on two hits over six innings, and the Railroaders finished off a sweep of the Texas AirHogs with a 4-1 win Sunday evening at The Depot.  

Mincey improved to 3-0 on the year and extended his four-start stretch of pitching into the sixth inning, while Harrison Lee and Winston Abreu combined to throw three hitless innings to close it out. 

Maikol Gonzalez knocked a pair of singles and scored a run, while Devan Ahart tripled in the game-tying run in the sixth and Valentin drove him to give Cleburne it's first lead of the night. The Railroaders added a pair of insurance runs on two hits in the eighth inning. 

Mincey's only blemish was a two-out solo home run by Levi Scott in the fourth inning, while Harrison Lee walked a pair of hitters with two strikeouts over his two innings and Winston Abreu worked a perfect ninth inning with a pair of strikeouts to earn his fourth save of the year. The trio combined to give up just two hits -- a season-best for the Railroaders -- and the bullpen extended its streak to 15 consecutive scoreless innings. 

The win gives Cleburne its fourth consecutive victory and moves the Railroaders to 9-9 with a three-game set against Salina beginning Monday night at The Depot.
