Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Welsh walked away with it. They came out on top against the Grand Lake Hornets by a score of 6-3 on Wednesday. The win was familiar territory for the Greyhounds, who have now won six contests in a row.

Dane Iguess was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out nine batters over six innings while giving up three earned runs off seven hits. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't tossed less than eight strikeouts in five consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.

Iguess wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Brecken Haydel, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI. Haydel has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last four times he's played. Jordan Strong was another, earning two runs and two stolen bases.

Welsh's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 22-10. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.5 runs over those games. As for Grand Lake, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four matchups. That's put a noticeable dent in their 24-9 record this season.

As of now, neither Welsh nor Grand Lake have any future games scheduled.
