WELSH – The Welsh Greyhounds picked up a close win over the Crowley Gents at home on Monday by a final score of 5-2 at Sportsman’s Park.

Broussard allowed only two runs on six hits and fanned 11 Crowley hitters in the victory. Fellow senior Austin Van Ness led the nine-hit attack of the Greyhounds by going 3-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored. Welsh never trailed in the contest, and allowed Crowley to single runs in the second and third frames.
