Elkmont Middle School fend off Clements's late push, hold on 7-5

The Red Devils took the lead in a first inning rally that saw three runs cross the plate on a two-run single by Sean Jordan.

Elkmont tacked on another three runs in the second. A clutch error scored Logan Griffin to open the scoring in the frame. That was followed up by Clay Hunt's single, scoring Hunter Pitman and Phillip. They put up one more run in the top of the fourth when Jim Dawson stole home.

  
Clements scored on an RBI single by R. Kirk and an RBI single by T. Henry in the third inning, an RBI single by M. Hamilton in the fourth inning, and an RBI single by C. Wales and an RBI single by A. Bates in the fifth inning. However those five runs weren't enough and Clements couldn't climb out of the 6 run hole it had dug for itself by the top of the third.  Final score: Elkmont 7, Clements 5.
