Hounds Take Care of Business on the Road, 9-0 vs. Asotin

Kris Schroeder singled in the first to end a seven-pitch at-bat, bringing in the Hounds’ first run in the top of the 1st. They were able to add to that scoreline with a triple from Brady Coulter that scored two, putting Pullman up 3-0 early on.
The Hounds continued to extend their lead, with their biggest inning coming with a 4-run top of the 4th, enabled by a Joey Hecker double and Kris Schroeder single that put the Hounds up 7-0 with only one out recorded in the inning. Joey Hecker was able to keep up this performance, going 4-for-5 in at-bats against the Panthers.
Additionally, the Panthers’ pitching staff was inconsistent on the mound, allowing the Hounds to take advantage with 6 walks, 3 of which came in to score for the Greyhounds. The Hounds were also dominant on the base paths, able to steal 8 bases throughout the game.
