Depleted Blues swept in twinbill at Elkhart
Garden City Blues fall 8-5 and 5-2 as errors haunt a depleted lineup missing four players including Salais and St Clair. Elkhart jumps on two second inning errors to erase early deficits, while Blues manage just three hits in game two. Coach Wayne Claar notes the shifts in outfield contributed to five Blues errors and that the team returns with a busy schedule after playing nearly every other day.
