RAILROADERS FALL SHORT OF SWEEP
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 20, 2018
CLEBURNE, Texas – Levi Scott clubbed his first home run of 2018, but the Railroaders combined for 15 strikeouts in a 4-3 loss with a chance to sweep the Winnipeg Goldeyes on Sunday afternoon.
Scott gave the Railroaders an early lead with his leadoff homer to left in the second inning – the first time in the series the Railroaders scored first.
But Will Mathis, making a spot start in the place of Josh Hodges, walked the first four Goldeyes in the third – and all four came into score. Reynaldo Rodriguez scored two runs with a single, and Josh Mazzola drove in another with a sacrifice fly.
Cleburne answered with two runs in the fourth after Reggie Abercrombie dropped a fly ball that allowed K.C. Huth to reach. After a Scott single, Patrick Palmeiro cut into the deficit with an RBI double to right-center before Cam Monger hit a sacrifice fly.
Goldeyes starter Edwin Carl struck out 11 batters, and six of the nine Railroaders starters finished with multiple strikeouts.
The Cleburne bullpen tossed seven scoreless innings, pushing its current streak to 12.1 scoreless frames.
Michael Gunn turned in four scoreless innings for his Railroaders debut, while Tyler Wilson struck out four in two perfect innings and Cortland Cox worked around a two-out single in a scoreless ninth.
With the first series win of 2018 in the rearview, the Railroaders now welcome the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks to The Depot for the only time this year. The three-game series begins Monday at 7:06 p.m., and RHP Dylan Mouzakes will make his season debut.
