Another missed opportunity

Walla Walla vs. Bend

- W2 is now 3-7 on the year in one-run games.
- It also started a string of 15 straight days of games to close out the summer.
- Jacob Overbay allowed just two hits after the first inning last night but the two Elk runs were enough.
- Derek Peterson pitched two scoreless innings last night and has now thrown four scoreless innings over his last two appearances.
- Austin Heaps worked a ten-pitch walk in the ninth but saw his 5-game hit streak come to an end.
- Alex Stanford had his six-game hit streak snapped as well.
- Aaron Hoverson starts five days after giving up seven runs over 2.1 innings against Klamath Falls.  He is still searching for his first victory.
