Atkins Helps Borrego Springs Outscore Whitby
The Borrego Springs-Whitby matchup turned into a real hit parade.

In a high-scoring contest between Borrego Springs and Whitby, shortstop Elliot Atkins was a difference-maker. Atkins distinguished himself in the 12-10 Borrego Springs win. He went 3 for 3 with a home run, 2 doubles, and 2 walks, while scoring 4 runs and driving in 5. Ben Laing snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 3 hits over 1.1 innings. He's now 1-0 on the season.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Salvador Garcia came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Whitby pitcher Sergio Hernandez, he hit a first pitch cutter for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Borrego Springs on top, 9-8.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Atkins.

The win puts Borrego Springs at 2-0.
