After being shutout on Tuesday, the RailRiders’ bats woke up in a big way on Wednesday, beating the Pioneers 10-0.  The Riders had 12 hits from 7 different players and a strong starting pitching performance in the win.

Victor got on the board in the bottom of the 3^rd when Tommy Wagner reached on a walk and Brady Acker reached on a fielder’s choice.  Mark Cardinalli then hit a 2 run home run in just his second plate appearance of the season to put the Riders up 2-0. 

The RailRiders got 5 more runs in the very next inning to pad their lead.  3 Victor natives singled in a row (Pete Carrier, Dale Wickham, Tommy Wagner) to make the score 3-0.  Brock Daniels singled home Wickham and Wagner, and an E6 brought home Cardinalli, who walked earlier in the inning.  The 5^th run of the inning was scored when pitcher Jared Proctor balked in Daniels.

Victor scored their final 3 runs of the game in 6^th when Wagner and Acker started off the inning with a pair of singles.  Cardinalli immediately followed with a double that brought them both in.  Cardinalli would come around to score later in the inning on a Aaron Endres single.

Starting pitcher John Saviano was dominant in the RailRider win.  He brought a no hitter into the 8^th inning and had a final line of 8 strikeouts, 1 hit, and 0 runs over 7.1 innings.

Acker, Cardinalli, and Daniels all finished with 2 hits while Cardinalli had 4 RBI’s and 3 Runs scored.  Tommy Wagner had 3 hits and 2 runs.
