Schedule set for second Ely Baseball Days celebration

For the second year in a row, the month of July augers a baseball celebration in Ely.

The second annual Ely Baseball Days begins July 7 and runs through July 19, and includes a pair of tournaments, numerous special events and a whopping 36 games at Veterans Memorial Field.

Both the 11-team Sir G's Midsummer Legion Classic and the North Subdistrict VFW Playoffs will be held during the event, and Ely's Legion Alumni Game, scrapped because of rain June 20, has been rescheduled for 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 18.

The event kicks off July 7 with a tripleheader, including a VFW twinbill with International Falls and a 7 p.m. Legion contest between Ely and Esko.  It will be Little League night at the ballpark, with all Little League teams introduced during the Legion game and hot dogs on sale for $1.

Numerous other festivities are planned during Ely Baseball Days, including concession stand specials, an Ely baseball history display, the July 17 dedication of the new scoreboard with Minnesota  Power Night at the ballpark, and a salute to veterans the same evening.
