Gary SouthShore Railcats News Release


Gary SouthShore RailCats shortstop Ryan Brockett kept up his hot-hitting ways to help his team topple the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks 7-3 in Sunday's rubber game at the U.S. Steel Yard.

Brockett went 3-for-3 with a sacrifice bunt and three RBI to lead the 'Cats from the No. 9 spot in the order. The Connecticut native got hot on the road when the team went east, and kept the bat going through the first three games of the homestand.

Brokett is hitting better than .400 over his last ten games.

The 'Cats (13-10) fell behind 1-0 just two batters into the ballgame, but jumped on Redhawks' starter Austin Kirk in their first opportunity, with two runs in the first inning and another in the second.

The middle innings bit the RailCats again, as the bats couldn't come through in run-scoring opportunities which allowed the Redhawks (7-16) to come back and tie the game in the top of the sixth.

But the Fargo lead was short-lived, as the 'Cats brought in two in the bottom half on a Ryan Brokett single and Jon Jones double and two more in the eighth on a Tillman Pugh triple - his second in as many games with the club - and a Brockett squeeze bunt.

Again, the South Shore 'pen came up big as Jessie Snodgrass and Andy Loomis combined to finish off the final three innings of the ballgame.

Starting pitcher Charle Rosario earned his fourth win of the season in his second quality start.

The RailCats are now 5-1 in day games this season.

The Wichita Wingnuts (14-8) are up next, as they come to town Tuesday at 7:05 p.m. to kick off a three-game series.
