Streaking Greyhounds
finish weekend sweep
The Union City Greyhounds completed a three-game sweep of lowly Farmington and ran their overall winning streak to five games with two victories vs. the Firebirds over the weekend.
UC outslugged the cellar-dwellers 12-8 on Friday, then posted a 6-4 victory over Saturday.
No details were made available for either game on the official Kitty League Web site, continuing a season-long trend in which Farmington (5-30) has yet to provide box scores or game statistics to the media or the remainder of the league from its home games.
Union City did improve to 22-18 with 10 games left in the regular season. The Greyhounds continue a nine-game road swing tonight with the first of three contests at Owensboro.
UC will then play at Fulton on three consecutive nights, starting Thursday, before returning home on July 23 for four games prior to the start of the league’s postseason tournament.
