RAILROADERS DROP OPENER TO X’S
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 4, 2018
CLEBURNE, Texas – Patrick Palmeiro hit his third homer of the year, but Cleburne left 11 runners on in a 5-2 loss to the Sioux City Explorers in the series opener at The Depot on Monday night.
Palmeiro’s team-leading home run cut the deficit to one in the 3rd inning, but the Explorers added a pair of runs – one unearned – in the fifth and held on for their third win in four games against the Railroaders.
Cleburne (8-9) walked a season-best eight times against four Sioux City (14-4) pitchers, and Patrick Mincey gave up five runs on a season-high 11 hits with one walk and one strikeout over seven innings of work.
The Railroaders took the lead on Palmeiro’s sacrifice fly in the 1st inning, and Sioux City scored three runs on three hits in the 2nd.
Josh Hodges, pitching for the second time in as many nights, went two scoreless innings and gave up a pair of hits with two strikeouts.
Alex Polston went 2-for-4 with a double, and both Cam Monger and Trevor Sealey walked twice. Jordan Dean reached two times and K.C. Huth went 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored.
Sioux City’s Jay Baum went 3-for-4 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored, while Daniel Jackson went 4-for-4 with four singles out of the nine-hole.
Cleburne’s loss snapped a two-game win streak, while Sioux City has won five straight and has the best record in the American Association.
