Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Norcom). They were the clear victors by a 26-5 margin over the Booker T. Washington Mighty Bookers on Tuesday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Greyhounds considering their one-run performance the contest before.
Davion Futrell was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out ten batters over 3.1 innings while giving up three earned runs but no hits. Those ten strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was even better at the plate, scoring three runs and stealing four bases while going 2-for-4.
