June 20 PNC Field 1:05 p.m. Fittingly, this game was the final regular season game ever played in the International League, a circuit which began play in 1884 but has July 6 PNC Field 7:05 p.m. been disbanded and reconstituted as the Triple-A East League. July 7 PNC Field 7:05 p.m. July 8 PNC Field 7:05 p.m. MAMA SAID SHUT YOU OUT: Five RailRiders pitchers combined to pitch the second shutout of the year for the club on Sunday against July 9 PNC Field 7:05 p.m. Buffalo in Trenton.
