The Bend Elks are out on the road and started a 6-game road trip last night in Yakima, and the Pippins silenced the Elks with a 1-zip shutout win in the first game of a 3-game set in south central Washington.

Bend managed just three hits all night, and Yakima pitcher Tyler Frazer from the University of Oregon struck out 8 Elks hitters while only walking two in 7-innnings of work to up his record to 2-and-0. 

Bend ace Gil Luna suffered the loss to even his mark to 2-and-2 as he struck out 6, but walked six that led to one costly RBI single for the loss.
