MEDFORD — Billy King logged just one hit on the day, but the Bend Elks first baseman made it count on Friday afternoon.

In the top of the 10th inning, King belted a two-run home run to propel the Elks to a 6-4 victory over the Medford Rogues in West Coast League play — Bend’s 12th win in the past 15 games.

Justin Erlandson had three hits for the Elks (15-11), and Zach Close added two hits. Jesse Pratt earned the win for Bend after coming in during the seventh inning and holding the Rogues (12-10) to just one run on three hits over three innings. Bend’s Kevin Sheets entered in the 10th inning to shut down Medford and pick up the save.
