Elliot pitcher, Stu Barnes carried a no hitter through 6 and 1/3 innings, and went 2 for 3 with a double and a triple to lead defending champion Elliot (1-0) past South Oakland (0-1) Wednesday night.

The game was scoreless through three, and then a few balls that should have been caught weren’t and Elliot scored 7 runs.

Jesse Ferko and Chris Roth had hits for the Ducks. Roth drove in the Ducks only run in the top of the seventh on an infield single.

We’ll round into form by divisional play, if not sooner.

Despite the loss, spirits remain high in South Oakland as the team looks to rebound against the Bulldogs Saturday morning.

Quack.
