August 31, 2026 - Former Railroader Jaxx Groshans gave Chicago everything he could, but as we know by now, it takes a complete team effort to win baseball games at this level, and for the sixth straight night in Cleburne the Dogs could not manage to put one together. The Railroaders sweep the Dogs in six games, taking Sunday's game by a final of 10-6, officially punching their playoff ticket.
Dominic Guzman had the only positive pitching performance of the night, as he shoved two scoreless innings to finish things off for the Dogs staff. I... Full Story
August 30, 2026 - Despite what was an entertaining game that had some fun milestones and moments in it, the Dogs dropped their fifth straight to the Railroaders by a final of 9-1 on Saturday evening.

August 28, 2026 - Once again the Dogs' pitching let the team down late on Thursday night, as Cleburne walked off Chicago for the second straight night, winning it in the bottom of the ninth to take game three of six by a final of 5-4.
Steven Lacey looked good early, but struggled at the end of his start, giving up four earned runs in four innings, three of which came in the bottom of the fourth. For most of the rest of the way, the bullpen looked spectacular. Donny Tober twirled three scoreless, sitting down four. A scoreless inning from C... Full Story
