Elks Face VFW in Big Little League Showdown for Playoff Bid
The Elks need a win at Olin Bracken Field to force a second half playoff clash with the VFW. If the Vets win, they tie for the league lead with the Elks but the GI Men would still need a makeup rainout with the Moose. A decisive Elks victory would lock the second half title and playoff berth.
