Dukes down Hounds

Published 12:23 am Thursday, July 2, 2009

The Austin Greyhounds fell to Dundas 6-2 on the road Wednesday.

The Hounds (5-11 overall) took a 1-0 lead in the first off a Craig Braaten RBI double, but hit a cold streak as they went down in order four of the next five innings.

“After that we really didn’t have any scoring opportunities for awhile,” Austin manager John Frein said. “It wasn’t our best effort on offense or defense.”
