CHISHOLM Ely junior Harry Simons pitched a solid game here on Monday, but five Timberwolves’ errors helped the Bluestreaks to a 6-0 win. “We struggled at the plate and in the field,” said Ely Head Coach Frank Ivancich. “Harry pitched well enough to deserve a better fate in this game.”
Indeed, Simons allowed just one earned run on six hits, while striking out seven Chisholm batters.
Ely had plenty of opportunities to get on the scoreboard as it stranded ten runners. “We just couldn’t seem to produce a big hit to get them on board,” said Ivancich.

ELY- While the North Woods baseball team could claim to be the more experienced team going into Friday’s road game against Ely, it wasn’t by much. It was the Timberwolves’ first game of the season, and while the Grizzlies had a two-week head start on them, they only had one game to show for it, thanks to bad weather.
But North Woods took command immediately with a four-run spree in the first inning and rode a devastating 10-run fourth-inning blitz to an easy 19-3 victory.
Zach Cheney went 3-for-4 at the plate with a homer and four RBIs as nine Grizzlies batters hammered hits on the day.
