Elko sweeps Dust Devils

DAYTON — Elko completed its three-game sweep with a 16-1 win and a 14-3 win Saturday afternoon.

Dayton falls to 4-3 overall and 0-3 in league. The Dust Devils visit Spring Creek for a three-game series starting on Friday.

“I think facing Elko the first weekend is only going to make us better,” DHS coach Mike Burrows said. “Even though we didn’t play our best defensively and we struggled at the plate, I’m encouraged by our team’s young arms.

“I was pleased with the way we responded in the third game (second game of DH). We got a much-needed spark with Baker’s three-run shot and did a better job defensively, We stayed in the game until the sixth.”

Dylan Baker gave Dayton its only lead of the series, 3-0, with his first-inning bomb. Elko bounced back with two in the second and third, four in the fourth and six in the sixth.

Justin Schmidt had two hits while Trevor Burrows doubled and Gage Duke singled.

In the opener, Dayton managed just singles by Zach Woitas and Jesse Schmidt.
