The Bend Elks managed just five hits in the rubber match of a three-game series with the Corvallis Knights, falling 4-0 on Thursday night in a West Coast League baseball game at Bend’s Vince Genna Stadium.

For the Elks (13-8), Kevin Hamann took the loss, giving up three runs, two earned, on seven hits while striking out three, his first loss for the Elks in 2013.

At the plate for Bend, no player in the lineup had a multi-hit game as Adam Grantham and Chase Fields had the only hits for the Elks through the first six innings of the game. Bend could not manage to get anything going against Corvallis (12-9) starter Andrew Naderer, who gave up no runs on two hits, striking out three in his four innings of work on the mound.

The Elks are off today and return to action Saturday to host a three-game series against the Kelowna Falcons; first pitch for the opener is set for 6:35 p.m.
