The West Olympia Linx get their chance at the West Coast League’s Bend Elks split squad team today at Saint Martin’s. Yesterday the Hawks Prairie Cardinals knocked off the Elks 2-1 but the Elks came back to beat the Nisqually Silvers 6-2 in a lightning shortened game. First pitch today is at noon.

The Senators went 2-1 in pool play losing only to the defending two time champion Seattle Studs 6-1 last night. First pitch in Kamloops is at 2:30. Unfortunately, neither team seems to use Pointstreak so there are no live stats of the game.
