Elko had already won five in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 13.4 runs) and they went ahead and made it six on Thursday. They blew past the Lowry Buckaroos 22-2. 22 seems to be a good number for the Indians as the team scooped up a win with the same number of runs in their previous game.

Ethan Kraintz made a splash no matter where he played. He tossed four innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with three runs. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April of 2025.

In other batting news, Elko got a massive performance out of Scotty Sellers, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI. The Indians are undefeated when Sellers posts two or more runs, but 3-5 otherwise. Carson Steensen also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.

Elko kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 16 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 3.7 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 contests they've averaged 13.2.

Elko now has a winning record of 6-5. As for Lowry, they are on a nine-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 0-11-1.

Elko will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Buckaroos: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 11:00 a.m. on Friday.
