Elma 3, Tenino 2
Elma starting pitcher Carter Studer made history in a 3-2 win over Tenino in the second game of a twin bill on Saturday in Elma.
The Eagles right-hander allowed two unearned runs in pitching a complete-game no-hitter, allowing three walks while striking out four in the history-making effort.

Elma’s defense committed three errors total in the inning.
But the Eagles weren’t about to let the Beavers spoil Studer’s effort. Elma second baseman Cole Gustafson reached on an error to leadoff the bottom of the seventh and advanced to second with one out on an Eastin Wright single.
Two batter later, Gustafson crossed the dish with the game-winning run on a TJ Dunlap sacrifice fly to center field, securing the victory for Studer and the Eagles.
