The Austin Greyhounds beat Pine Island 9-2 in five innings at Marcusen Park Friday.

The Hounds (3-1 overall) drew six walks in a four-run second inning to take over the game, which was called due to rain in the fifth.

Joe Huffman and Nels Nelson didn’t allow any earned runs on the mound for Austin.
