CLEBURNE, Texas -- K.C. Huth knocked an early ground-rule double, but Salina jumped on the Railroaders early and often en route to a 7-0 win at The Depot Tuesday night.

Salina scored once in the second inning before Huth’s two-out double to left-center, forcing Shawn Zarraga to stop at third instead of scoring before Alex Polston struck out to end the inning.

Salina then scored three times in the third -- including a two-run home run from former Railroader Kewby Meyer -- along with a run in the fifth and a pair in the seventh to end a 22-game losing skid.

The Railroaders managed just three total hits with 10 strikeouts against three Salina pitchers, and Cleburne starter Jorge Martinez didn’t make it out of the third inning after surrendering four runs on four hits with two walks and a pair of strikeouts.

Dylan Mouzakes made his Cleburne debut after being acquired by the Railroaders in a trade over the weekend and gave up a run on four hits over 3.1 innings -- ending the Cleburne bullpen’s scoreless streak at 34.1 innings.

Game three of the four-game set is scheduled for 7:06 p.m. Wednesday night. It’s plush mini-cow giveaway night courtesy of Chick-fil-A, and tickets can be purchased at www.railroaderbaseball.com or be visiting the box office at the main gate of The Depot.
