I know, I know, I keep promising feature articles and then I never deliver.  Sorry, but I have a book coming out later this month and it is taking up a lot of time.  So, at the very least, I want to provide you with the most-comprehensive list of games and scores from the night before. 

THE NORTHERN LEAGUE

The Gary SouthShore Railcats

Gary was at Kansas City last night.  For a baseball game, it was pretty high scoring.  The Railcats managed to bring 9 of their runners home while the T-Bones brought home 7.

FINAL SCORE:   Railcats  9        T-Bones  7

The Schaumburg Flyers

Schaumburg had a rough night as the Calgary Vipers came to town for the start of a series.  The Flyers were held to only three runs.  The Vipers were able to mount a decent offensive onslaught and brought 7 runners home.

FINAL SCORE:   Flyers 3        Vipers  7

The Joliet Jackhammers

Joliet was in Fargo-Moorehead last night to start a series against the RedHawks.  The first game did not go well for the Jackhammers, however.  They were held to only two runs.

FINAL SCORE:  Jackhammers  2        RedHawks  5

THE FRONTIER LEAGUE

The Windy City Thunderbolts

The Thunderbolts were not able to mount a decent offensive effort in their first game against the Southern Illinois Miners.  The Miners were able to score ten times against the Thunderbolts, which has been a rare thing so far this season.  The Thunderbolts were only able to bring home 5 compared to the 10 by the Miners

FINAL SCORE:   Thunderbolts  5       Miners  10

The Rockford Riverhawks

Rockford went up against the Evansville Otters last night.  It was a good night for the Riverhawks.  The game was low-scoring, relying on great pitching and defense. 

FINAL SCORE:   Riverhawks  3      Otters  1

THE MIDWEST LEAGUE  (AFFILIATED TEAM)

The Kane County Cougars

The Cougars looked like they were going to have a repeat of the night before by getting a first-inning home run.  However, the Chiefs came right back and it was a Chiefs’ game from then on.  With this loss the Cougas are now 3.5 games behind Peoria for the lead in the division. 

FINAL SCORE:   Cougars  1     Chiefs  5
