An American Legion season delayed by the success of Ely's section champion high school baseball team will get underway this week.
In a rematch of last year's district final, Post 248 opens the 2014 campaign against Taconite Wednesday (6 p.m.) at Marble. The Eighth District Division II league contest starts a season pushed back by well over a week while the Timberwolf high school baseball team took part in the state Class A tournament, where it finished sixth.
Several key contributors to the high school team will form an imposing nucleus for Ely, including senior pitchers Louie Gerzin, Will Gustafson and Max Gantt. All three started a year ago for a Legion team that won 23 games and finished second in the district.
This week's action also includes the DQ Grill and Chill Classic, a nine-team tournament that starts Friday at Veterans Memorial Field.
A scheduled game tonight at Esko was postponed and will be rescheduled to a later date.
