The Sulphur Cyclones finished out the summer baseball season on Friday with an 11-0 shutout of the Welsh Greyhounds.
The Cyclones held a 7-0 lead through two innings before Welsh's Braiden Joile and Tyler Chaisson held Sulphur scoreless until the Cyclones put the game away in the bottom of the sixth inning with four runs.
Matt Pago was walked to start of the bottom of the sixth and Troy Scott followed with a single to left field. Two runs scored on the next play when a ground ball hit by Logan Lejeune was miss handled giving Sulphur a 9-0 lead. The Cyclones picked up another run on a wild pitch and Sean Wanamaker closed out the scoring with a sacrifice RBI to score Kendal Daigle.
After Conway struck out the first two batters in the top of the seventh, Welsh loaded the bases with the help of two walk and a single by Will Leger but Conway struck out Sage Beniot to end the game.
Sulphur got just one hit in the bottom of the first inning from Lejeune but picked up two runs on bases loaded walks by Welsh pitcher Joile.
Welsh got their second base runner of the game with one out in the second inning when Leger hit a double to right field but Sulphur's Kade Andrus struck out the next two batters to leave Leger stranded.
The Cyclones picked up four runs in the bottom of the second to pad their lead as Stephen Pennick hit two-run single to left field to make it 4-0. Sean Wanamaker then hit a grounder that glanced off the glove to Welsh second baseman Beau Monceaux allowing two runs to score on the error.
Five Cyclone pitchers combined to hold Welsh to just four hits with starter Andrus picking up the win. Andrus allowed just one hit in two innings of work and struck out three in the second inning. Daigle, Wanamaker, Loren Saucier each pitched one inning and Conway pitched the final two innings for Sulphur.
