Freshman Wade Bowlin went 3-for-4 at the plate with two doubles and a triple to pace Elverado, which scored four times in the opening inning and never looked back.

Bryce Mathis, Landry Arnett, Troy Stewart, Cavins and Miller all enjoyed two-hit games for Elverado, which ended things early scorin seven times in the final two innings.
