ELY Timberwolves senior Will Davies struck out eight, while scattering seven hits as Ely blew out a depleted Mesabi East squad 17-11 here on Tuesday afternoon. With three Giants starters out based on COVID-19 protocols, Ely relied on timely hitting from sophomore Erron Anderson, who went 3-3, scoring three times and notching two RBIs. Junior Jacob Towley added two hits for Ely while scoring twice and driving in three runs.
Ely benefitted from Mesabi East miscues, racking up several unearned runs in the five-inning contest.
Ely jumped to an early lead, but a five-run third inning for the Giants knotted the score at 7-7. Ely answered with three runs in the bottom of the frame to take a 10-7 lead and never looked back, cruising the rest of the way. The win improved the Wolves’ record to 5-6 as they head into their Veterans Memorial Showcase, set for both Friday and Saturday in Ely.

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.
