A no-hitter by pitcher Gage Merhar was among the highlights Monday night as Ely's Junior League team started the season with a doubleheader sweep of visiting Mesabi East.
Merhar's gem, which came with 12 strikeouts, came as Ely downed Mesabi East 9-0 in five innings to complete the sweep. Earlier on, Thomas Montana was on the mound in an 11-2 victory. Montana tossed a four-hitter.
Austin Kallberg and Ryan Quick both had three hits in the doubleheader for Ely, and Merhar added a bases-clearing double in the opening game, which kicked off action in the inaugural season for Iron Range Baseball, a newly-formed, 12-team league for players 14-and-under.
Ely travels to Gilbert Wednesday to take on Eveleth-Gilbert.
