Walker-Hackensack-Akeley came tearing into Friday's game with 12 straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 11.2 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They put the hurt on the Hill City Hornets with a sharp 7-1 win. The result was nothing new for the Wolves, who have now won nine contests by six runs or more so far this season.
Gavin Swanson was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out seven over four innings pitched. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two runs.
In other batting news, Cole Rutten was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run, two RBI, and one double. That home run marked the first that he has launched this season. Bradley Hasse was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases, one run, and one RBI.
Walker-Hackensack-Akeley's victory was their 11th straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 13-1.
Looking ahead, Walker-Hackensack-Akeley will welcome Hill City/Northland at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. Hill City does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
