The Milkmen struggled to stay afloat in their series opener to the Cleburne Railroaders. Manager Gary McClure said “The starting pitching fell behind early,” adding to the outcome of the game.

Milwaukee tied it up at 1 at the end of the first inning from an RBI by Jose Rosario.

In the second inning, Milkmen starting pitcher T.J. House ran into a bit of trouble. He surrendered five runs, including a solo homer by Railroader second basemen Chase Simpson.

The eighth inning saw the end of the night’s scoring, with Railroaders shortstop Daniel Robinson hitting a three run home run.

Milwaukee’s offense ended, leaving six men on base with eight hits overall.

Gary McClure reiterated post-game “We ended up walking into to 4 or 5 double plays and you just can’t have that.”
