Walk off, no-hitter help Hounds to 8-4
By Mark Carpenter

Last week was a huge one for Coach Sean Inman and his Manchester Greyhounds baseball squad as they were able to get five games in, and they won all five of them to improve their record to 8-4 on the season as of press time. It was a week of highlights, including a walk-off win, a pair of no-hitters, and then some big offensive numbers in a weekend that saw the Hounds outscore three opponents 63-1.
The memorable week began on April 16 with a 9-7 win at North Adams as the Greyhounds broke open a close game with five runs in the top of the fifth inning. Manchester took advantage of some miscues by the home team to plate five unearned runs as they pulled off the conference win. Luke Applegate went 5 2/3 innings on the mound for the win with Leland Horner finishing up for the save. Applegate helped his own cause, scoring two runs and driving in two.
