Goldeyes at RailCats: Exhibition Game #1 - May 3

Today, the RailCats open what will be a very full slate of exhibition baseball action...There are eight games scheduled, four at U.S. Steel Yard and four on the road...I just heard Paul Edmonds talk on his pregame show about how even though it is an exhibition, facing live pitching is still something that guys strive for before the season to help with preparation...Throughout the game today I will be posting updates during every half inning so keep refreshing your browser :)
