The bullpen trio of Conor Mullee (4-0), James Pazos and Anthony Swarzak didn&#8217;t even allow a walk in their time on the mound. Mullee and Pazos each fanned three, while Swarzak picked up his sixth save in a scoreless ninth.The series and road trip concludes at 1:05 p.m. on Wednesday before the RailRiders return home for an eight-game homestand beginning on Thursday.RailRiders 2, Bulls 0RailRiders`AB`R`H`BIGamel cf`4`1`1`0Judge lf`3`0`0`0Cave rf`4`1`0`0Swisher 1b`4`0`1`2Solano 3b`4`0`1`0Parmelee dh`3`0`0`0Higashioka c`4`0`1`0Kozma ss`4`0`0`0Diaz 2b`2`0`1`0Totals`32`2`5`2Durham`AB`R`H`BIField cf`4`0`1`0Robertson ss `4`0`0`0Beckham 2b`4`0`0`0Shaffer 1b`3`0`1`0Varona rf`3`0`0`0Arencibia c`3`0`0`0Goebbert lf`2`0`1`0Maile dh`3`0`0`0Querecuto 3b`3`0`0`0Totals`29`0`3`0RailRiders`000`000`020` &#8212; `2Durham`000`000`000`&#8212;`0E: Kozma (6).
