Fall baseball events set for Ely this year
Showcases planned Sept. 11, 17, and 25
ELY— The recent military veterans salute by the Ely Baseball Association would normally have marked the end of the baseball season in Ely. The salute was presented late last month during the Minnesota Junior Legion Baseball Division II State Tournament at Veterans Memorial Field, which drew big crowds.
Yet, serious players in the Ely area shouldn’t put their mitts away just yet. According to a post on the Ely Baseball Family Facebook page, baseball will be back this month, including multi-game showcases on Sunday, Sept. 11, Saturday, Sept. 17, and Sunday, Sept. 25. Event organizer Tom Coombe said at least one other weekend date may be in the works.
“Three games will be played each day, with umpires, and perhaps concessions as well,” Coombe said.
High school and college age players will be mixed together. Competition is open to players in grades 9 and above. Tentative registration price is $40.
More details will be coming soon, according to Coombe.
