Gustafson, Gerzin fuel win in Sir G's finale

Will Gustafson went the distance on the mound and drove in three runs, while fellow senior Louie Gerzin added four hits as Ely downed Proctor 10-4 Sunday in the final game of the Sir G's Midsummer Classic.

A seven-run outburst in the bottom of the second, all with two outs, gave Gustafson a comfortable lead and the righthander made the most of it, scattering eight hits en route to his third win of the summer.

Gustafson had a two-run single during the rally, when seven straight Ely batters reached base. Gerzin went four-for-four, scored three and knocked in two runs for the winners, who finished 3-1 in the tournament and are now 16-7 overall.

Proctor scored twice in the top of the second to take a 2-1 lead but that advantage was brief, as Post 248 responded with its big inning.

Spencer Gaulke added two hits for Ely, which returns to action Wednesday with a 7:30 p.m. home game against Deer River.

In other Sir G's action Sunday, International Falls won its third game of the tournament and shocked Division I power Duluth Lakeview 5-3 behind the pitching of Caleb Dahlin.  Kenyon downed Virginia 5-3 while Ely's VFW team filled in for Hermantown and defeated Pine City 17-9.
