Ely's American Legion baseball team shook off a slow start and rode the pitching of Wes Snyder to a key district victory over Deer River Tuesday night at Veterans Memorial Field.
Snyder fired a three-hitter with nine strikeouts in Post 248’s 9-1 win.
Deer River got an unearned run in the top of the first and lefty Cody Willis blanked the hosts through three frames.
But everything changed in the bottom of the fourth, when Louie Gerzin's two-run single gave Ely the lead. An outfield error allowed Snyder to score all the way from first on the play to make it 3-1.
Ely got a tiring Willis in the fifth, sending 10 batters to the plate and scoring four more runs, on only two hits.
Cody Bialik went two-for-four for the winners, Nick Mathews had a hit, scored twice and knocked in two runs.
Ely, now 6-1, kicks off a five-game swing through southern Minnesota on Thursday, when it meets both BOLD (6 p.m.) and Sacred Heart (8 p.m.) at Bird Island.
