Schaumburg, Ill.—Mike Reese collected three hits and drove in two runs and David Detienne added three RBI as the Gary SouthShore RailCats defeated the Schaumburg Flyers 7-2 on Saturday night, maintaining their nine game lead in the Northern League's South Division with 14 games to play in the first half race.  The RailCats record improved to 24-10 with the win while Schaumburg fell to 13-21.  The RailCats' magic number to clinch the division was trimmed to six.

 

RailCats starting pitcher Josh Habel (5-3) won his third straight decision, going six and two-thirds innings while allowing six hits and two runs with three walks and four strikeouts.  Brad Mumma pitched a scoreless inning in relief of Habel and Chad Blackwell closed out the win by retiring all four batters he faced as he struck out the side in order in the bottom of the ninth.  Blackwell extended his consecutive scoreless inning streak to 17.1 innings, one-third of an inning short of the club record.

 

Detienne's two-out, two-run double in the top of the first inning got the RailCats an early 2-0 lead, but Schaumburg came to tie the game with one run in the bottom of the first and another in the second on a solo home run by Kyle Leon.

 

But the RailCats jumped back in front in the third on a run-scoring single by Jermaine Allensworth and a sacrifice fly by Detienne to make it 4-2.  The RailCats scored an unearned run in the fourth and then added two more in the seventh on Reese's two-run double to account for the final tally of 7-2.

 

Eric McNamee walked four times in the game to tie a club record.  He scored two runs and added a stolen base.  Dale Mueller collected three hits for the RailCats.

 

The RailCats will meet Schaumburg on Sunday at 1:20 at Alexian Field in the finale of a three game set as the RailCats try for a sweep of the series.  Steve Obenchain (1-1, 3.44) will start for Gary against Schaumburg's Ryan Harris (1-4, 5.66).  The RailCats return home on July 4th.

 

Notes:  The RailCats' have beaten Schaumburg in seven of the eight meetings between the two clubs this season…The RailCats are 3-2 on their current 14 game road trip that will move to Joliet on Monday and finish in Winnipeg.
