A successful season for Coach Trey Meade and his Manchester Greyhounds baseball squad came to a disappointing close on Friday, May 29 as the Greyhounds were eliminated from the postseason with an 11-2 loss to the Huntington Huntsmen in a Division VI district semifinal contest played at South Point High School.
The Hounds had knocked off Huntington 11-9 way back on March 26 and had some confidence that Friday’s game would result in them making a trip to the district championship game, but the Huntsmen made an early statement with a three-run first inning and never looked back as they punched their ticket to the finals.
The Hounds were the first to score in the semifinal, getting a run in the top of the first when Traevyn Hilderbrand led off the game with a single and came around to score
