Louie Gerzin returned to the lineup after a brief absence and was dominant on the mound, firing a two-hitter with 11 strikeouts as Ely blasted Brookston 10-0 in Sunday's DQ Grill and Chill Classic finale.
After playing Friday and Saturday in the Play Ball Minnesota High School All-Star Series at Chanhassen, Gerzin was back in Ely red-and-black and had little trouble with Brookston.
The hard-throwing righthander struck out the side in the first inning and had a no-hitter through five frames.
Ely (3-2) scored all the runs Gerzin would need in the first, plating three without the benefit of a hit and capitalizing on five walks issued by losing pitcher Zach Johnson.
Post 248 warmed its bats up later on, with eighth-grader Gage Merhar going two-for-three in his Legion debut.
Spencer Gaulke had two hits including a two-run single and Elliot Omerza had two hits and two runs batted in.
Ely returns to action Tuesday with an Eighth District Division II league game at Deer River.
In other DQ Grill and Chill action Sunday, Madison clinched the tournament championship with a 7-3 win over Deer River. Madison and Blackduck both finished 4-0, but Madison claimed the crown by giving up 10 runs in the tournament, compared to 13 for Blackduck.
Blackduck edged Foley 5-3 Sunday and Minnetonka outscored Roseau 11-6.
