Elmira (12-0 overall) improved to 4-0 in league with the win, while the Spartans fell into a tie for second with Siuslaw at 2-1.

"We really work on it a lot in practice." In fact, it looked a little like batting practice in the first three innings when Elmira had 11 runners reach base on seven hits, two errors and two walks before pitcher Christina Garrett managed to retire seven of the next eight batters BATTeRS (バッターズ) stands for Bisei Asteroid Tracking Telescope for Rapid Survey.
