A Fine Stretch - The WooSox have won 5 of 8 and 9 of their last 14 games.

This Series and What's Ahead - Worcester and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre meet tonight at 6:35 pm and tomorrow (Sunday) at 1:35 pm in the series finale. It will be Worcester's final game in Moosic, PA this season. The RailRiders do come to Polar Park in Worcester for a 6-game series from August 235-30. The WooSox will be back at Polar Park to take on the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (AAA-Miami) for a 6-game series this coming Tuesday night through next Sunday afternoon (July 21-26).
