Bend’s Trever Allen hit a go-ahead solo home run in the third inning, and Justin Erlandson put the ball in play and scored on errors by the Wenatchee pitcher and right fielder — on the same play — as the Elks went ahead by two runs and held off the AppleSox for an 8-7 win Saturday night at Vince Genna Stadium.

The two-error run gave the Elks (26-15) a 4-2 lead that they never relinquished, though the AppleSox (21-20) came within one run on three separate occassions. Jake Peevyhouse hit a two-run double in the sixth for a 7-4 lead, Curtis Wilding hit home a run in the seventh, and Elks relief pitched Jesse Pratt balked home a run with the bases loaded in the eighth before closing the win for his first save of the season.

Starter Austin Guzzon (4-1) struck out six and allowed three runs in five innings.
