The Bend Elks prepared for a nine-game, 11-day road trip with a second straight exhibition win over the Hayesville Hammers. The Elks won 8-3 Tuesday night at Vince Genna Stadium against the Salem-based Oregon Collegiate Baseball League team.

The Elks head to Walla Walla, Washington, for a three-game series against the Sweets beginning Thursday. Then it is the All-Star Game in Bellingham, Washington, where a West Coast League-best eight Elks will participate. After that is a three-game series at Yakima Valley, then a trip to Canada for three games against Kelowna.

The Elks’ next home game is July 28 against Bellingham.
