Baseball Recap: Huntington Makes It Seven in a Row at Home

There's no place like home for Huntington, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Monday. They blew past the Adena Warriors 8-2 on Wednesday. The Huntsmen might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three matches by six runs or more this season.

Brayden Elliott spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on three hits and racked up 12 Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Troy McDonald, who scored two runs and stole four bases while going 2-for-3. Frankie Hirsch was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while getting on base in two of his three plate appearances.
