LITTLEFORK Ely exploded for 14 runs in the top of the seventh inning here as they rallied to top Littlefork-Big Falls in blustery conditions on Tuesday. The Vikings had been up 9-6 heading into the frame, but Ely ended up cruising to a 20-9 final score to improve to 9-10 on the season.
Ely junior Harry Simons pitched four and two-thirds innings, scattering three hits and striking out five. But five unearned runs for the Vikings kept Simons from notching the win. That honor went to senior Will Davies who pitched an inning and a third in relief. Sophomore Gunnar Hart pitched the final frame for Ely.
