Elks Lose to AppleSox 8-1
Published on June 6, 2012 under West Coast League (WCL)
Bend Elks News Release
Clay Bauer had difficulty locating his fastball early on in the game, and walks proved to be a pivotal factor in the game as both teams combined for only 9 hits, but it was the 10 walks that proved to be the demise of the elks as all 8 runners that scored reached on walk or error, and the Elks fell 8-1.
Bauer got the start for the Elks but would only last 4 innings, throwing 85 pitches and giving up 3 runs (2 earned) on 2 hits, but walked 6 and committed an error when he threw a bunted ball by Wenatchee's Tyler Schultz wide of Michael Hirko covering the bag, allowing the 2nd of 3 runs to score in the inning, giving the Apple Sox a 3-1 lead after 2.
The score would stay 3-1 for 6 innings until the bottom of the 8th when the Apple Sox scored 5 runs on two Elks relievers, and they wouldn't look back with the 8-1 lead.
Bo Walter had the only multi-hit game for the Elks, who will look to respond tomorrow in the 3 game series against the Apple Sox, first pitch at 7:05.
