The Elks versus Marshall Medical Center (MMC) has been the longest standing rivalry since the beginning of the Marshall County Babe Ruth League and another chapter was written on Tuesday night at the Jonathan D. Hollingsworth Memorial Field in Lewisburg as the Elks stole a 4-3 win to hand MMC its first loss of the season. The Elks (4-2) only had two hits in the game, but made the most of three bases on balls and six fielding miscues by MMC (4-1) to pick up the win. Zack Graves went the distance on the mound for MMC and was the tough-luck loser as he only gave up two earned runs, while striking out eight and walking three Elks’ batters. more
