The Leeward Islands' top three batsmen Montcin Hodge, Kieran Powell, and Devon Thomas, all registered scores in the 70s as the Hurricanes heaped misery upon Guyana Harpy Eagles on day two of the West Indies Championship at the Queen's Park Oval.
Resuming the day on 116 with loss, already 10 ahead of where they had previously left Guyana all-out, the team added another 36 runs before the Eagles claimed their first wicket.
Powell was the first to go, after being bowled for 74 by Nial Smith. But there was no respite, as Thomas joined Hodge at the crease and the two put on a further 85 before Thomas was dismissed for 72.
Hodge looked well set for a triple-digit tally but only lasted another five overs as he was dismissed for 72 off the bowling of Clinton Pestano, with the team at 246 for 3. Guyana broke through soon after, with Gudakesh Motie claiming Kofi James for 11.
The Eagles faced another chastening spell at the crease, however, after Jahmar Hamilton and Terance Ward put on an 85 run partnership for the 5th wicket. Hamilton was eventually dismissed for 48 after being trapped lbw by Smith. At the close of play, Ward remained unbeaten on 46 with Rahkeem Cornwall on 13.
The Leewards ended the day on 366 for 5 a lead of 250 runs.
