Cleburne scored five more times in the 7th after Williams hit a two-run single and Mike Gulino hit a three-run homer, and the Railroaders added three more on two bases-loaded walks and a sacrifice fly to make it 15-2.
The AirHogs got a pair of runs back on two RBI groundouts in the 9th inning.
Mike gulino went 1-for-4 with four RBI and Levi Scott went 2-for-4 with a walk, double and an RBI. Angelo Gumbs had a two-hit game, and Paul Ludden walked twice and scored twice.
Roman Gomez delivered a 1-2-3 inning for his final appearance as a professional, and Tyler Wilson went 1-2-3 in the 8th inning.
