The Carillon Sultans split their doubleheader with the Altona Bisons Sunday at A.D. Penner Park in Steinbach. The Bisons pounded out 13 hits and took advantage of three Sultans errors as they won the opener 9-4. Mason Hartung had three hits and two rbi for Carillon in game one. The Sultans took game two 15-5. That game was called after five innings because of the 10-run rule. The Sultans sent 14 batters to the plate in the bottom of the second and pushed across 10 runs. Luc Lagasse and Cody Gunderson scored three runs each and Mason Hartung drove in four for Carillon. The Sultans next game is Wednesday at A.D. Penner Park against the Pembina Valley Orioles.
