In 7 innings. (From Fulton) The Railroaders swept the Bobcats in a doubleheader in Fulton on Friday, and picked up a half game on the Hoppers who beat the Oilers in one game on the same night.

The Bobcats put up 3 runs in the top of the fourth, and the Railroaders answered with 2 more in the bottom half of the inning. Fulton added another 2 runs in the 5th to complete the final 9-3 score.

     Railroaders offensive consisted of 13 hits led by Angelo Burrage going 3 for 4, with 3 RBI and one run scored, followed by Rob Hogenkamp who was 2 of 4 with three runs scored. The Bobcats managed 4 hits with only 1 RBI produced from Spencer Wilson going 1 for 3 on the evening.
