What a truly gorgeous weekend it was here in Chicago over the Labor Day Weekend.  Not only was it nearly cloudless, but the temperature was entirely bearable and the humidity was low.  Plus, the Chicago Jazz Festival was this weekend, so there was plenty to do.

However, what we are here for is the scores and games that affected the baseball teams in the Chicago area.  So, here they come.

THE NORTHERN LEAGUE

There are not games scheduled throughout the Northern League fo Monday night.

The Gary Southshore Railcats

Gary had a nice long 16-inning game on Friday against the Kansas City T-Bones.  Thankfully for the Railcats, they managed to come out with the lead and the win in the end there.  They racked up some nice runs on Saturday, scoring 12 times in the standard 9 innings.  Sunday, the Railcats were shut out and the T-Bones only needed to score three times for the victory.

The Schaumburg Flyers and Joliet Jackhammers

On Friday the game went into extra innings again, to only end with the exact same score from earlier in the week and with the Flyers on the short end again.  The Saturday game was also  close one, but the Flyers lost again and then lost again on Sunday.  In short, the Flyers will be glad when the Jackhammers head back to their stadium across town.
