Elk Lake saw six different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Alden Felker, who went 1-for-3 with one RBI.
Elk Lake's defeat dropped their record down to 10-2. As for Montrose, their record is now 7-5.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Wednesday as neither team is afraid to steal. Montrose has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 3.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Elk Lake struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 4.2 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
