Elkins fought back in the third inning with Lincoln Scott’s two-run single, but the Colts pulled away with a five-run outburst in the sixth inning. Kent Rowan, Nick Gonzales, and Jacob Gray all contributed with RBIs to secure the win for Philip Barbour.

Pitcher Albert Gonzales went the distance for the Colts, striking out eight batters and walking only two. Elkins struggled to contain the Colts’ offense, with Scott taking the loss after giving up five runs in the first two innings.
