La Grande 10/11 loses ELGIN — The La Grande playoff run is over, but the young all-stars got their money’s worth.

After a three-hour marathon the baseball season ended in what looked like a Wild West shoot out. La Grande held a 8-5 lead after four innings. Then the wheels came off.

Isaiah Cranford and Matt Duncan had a double apiece in the game.
