Another player making a difference was Reece Aylward, who went 2-for-3 with three runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
Hoisington pushed their record up to 13-3 with the win, which was their fourth straight on the road. The road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.0 runs over those games. As for Smoky Valley, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 5-15.
