DEER RIVER— Ely’s offense clicked here last Thursday as the Timberwolves ten-runned the Warriors 13-3 to improve to 4-3 on the young baseball season.
“This was the much-needed offensive explosion we were looking for,” said Ely Head Coach Frank Ivancich. “The ball finally found some holes today at the plate for our hitters.” 
Indeed, the Wolves knocked out ten hits in the five-inning contest. Senior Elliott Levens led the way at the plate, notching four RBIs on two hits, while fellow senior Deegan Richards added three RBIs on the day.
Juniors Caid Chittum and Ben Leeson added two hits apiece for the Wolves to make their contribution to the win.
“Eighteen players saw action on the field and helped contribute to Thursday’s win. It was great team effort,” noted Ivancich.
Senior pitcher Drew Marolt did his part as well, allowing just three runs on four hits in the contest, while fanning nine in the full five innings pitched.
Monday’s scheduled contest against South Ridge was postponed due to rain.
The Wolves were set to host Mt. Iron-Buhl on Thursday and they’ll travel to Grand Marais on Saturday to take on Cook County. They’ll be back home next Tuesday to host Mesabi East.
