The Colts scored two runs in the top of the first inning, then scored one in the third, three in the fourth and added another in the fifth to take a 7-0 lead.

With Clements' win on Tuesday, they led the
three-game series with Elkmont as each team sought second place in Class 3A, Area 15 for a playoff spot. Clements got on the board first with a run in the bottom of the second inning due to a throwing error, but Elkmont pitcher Brett Parker was able to minimize the damage and keep the Red Devils in the game.

Whenever, the Red Devils looked to make a run at the Colts, Clements would shut the gate. The key moment in the game was the top of the fourth inning, when a double by Ryan Boyd put runners at second and third with one out.
It looked promising but the next two batters struck out to end the threat and keep Clements in the lead. Elkmont threatened to make the game interesting in the seventh, loading the bases with two outs. Alas, the game ended on a flyout.
