In a rematch fit for ESPN Sunday Night Baseball, the Chicago Rangers will face their 2010 CMBA Championship foe Park Ridge Marlins in a road contest at Southwest Park at 10:00 am on Sunday, May 8, 2011.
Historically, the Rangers have not fared well against the Fighting Fish. In 27 total lifetime games, the Rangers have mustered only 4 wins for a .148 winning percentage. The last Ranger win over the Marlins came in Game 1 of the 2010 CMBA Championship by a score of 5-2. The Rangers come into this game riding a 2 game losing streak against the sea dwellers.
This is not the first opening day match up between the 2 clubs. The clubs met in 2006 and 2008. Both resulted in Ranger losses. The 2008 opener ended in a Ranger forfeit - the only one in Ranger history.
All-time, the Rangers are 2-7 in opening day play. They come into Sunday's game riding a 2 game opening day winning streak - both against the Vikings.
The site for Sunday's game is Southwest Park in Park Ridge. All-time, the Rangers are 5-17 (.227) at the suburban grounds. Their last win at Southwest came on Opening Day 2010 in an 8-4 victory over the Vikings. The game was originally scheduled to be played at Taft High School but was moved minutes before first pitch.
Statistically, the Rangers should fare well in Sunday's contest. Lifetime, the Rangers are 80-79 (.503) in intra-division play and 73-57 (.562) in weekend games.
