Patrick Huisman helped put Ely's American Legion baseball team back in familiar territory Tuesday night.
The righthander dominated on the mound, finishing with a three-hitter and 11 strikeouts as Ely downed Deer River 6-2 and snapped a six-game losing skid, the program's longest since 1990.
Huisman, who struck out the side in both the first and second frames, lost his shutout bid in the sixth inning but by then Post 248 had a comfortable cushion.
Deer River fielding miscues led to an unearned run for Ely in the first and set the tone for the night, as the hosts committed seven errors.
Tayler Banks singled and scored on an error in the fourth, while a two-run fifth-inning rally included a double by Gage Merhar and a single by Elliot Omerza, with two errors in between.
Omerza finished with two hits and two runs batted in for the winners, and Merhar added two hits.
Huisman retired seven straight batters at one point and eight at another. He showed pinpoint control and did not walk a batter while improving to 3-1 for the summer.
