| Two weeks into the Ohio Valley League season, the Fulton Railroaders are still trying to find their way.
Fulton won just once in three weekend games, is now three games below the .500 mark (5-8) and currently sits in fifth place in the six-team league.
Madisonville (8-4) is in first place.
The Railroaders beat Debuois County 10-5 on Friday night, lost to Hopkinsville 9-7 on Saturday and then lost to Owensboro (4-2) in the only game played on Sunday.
Fulton will enjoy an off-day today before playing six straight games the rest of the week, starting with a Tuesday road contest at Hopkinsville before playing again at Lohaus Field Wednesday vs. Owensboro.
