Thanks to another strong pitching performance and an errorless outing in the field, Ely's American Legion baseball team has its first winning streak of the summer.
Patrick Huisman blanked Two Harbors on four hits and never allowed a runner to reach second base in an 8-0 district road victory Wednesday night.
Huisman, who gained his fourth win of the summer, struck out six and walked just one batter while going the distance.
And after struggling against Two Harbors lefty Kyle Omtvedt early in the game, Ely broke through with a run in the top of the fourth and scored seven more times - on eight hits - over the last three innings.
Eliot Omerza reached on a fielder's choice, moved to second on a balk and scored on consecutive wild pitches as Ely got on the board and took a 1-0 lead.
A Kyle Durbin bunt single helped set the table in the fifth, when both Will Gustafson and Elliot Omerza lined run-scoring hits.
Pinch-hitter Cole Kellogg laced a run-scoring single in the sixth and Gustafson followed with a two-run single, and the rout was on. Spencer Gaulke doubled in a run in the seventh and pinch-hitter Nick Montana drove in another with a single.
Omerza, Gaulke, Patrick Huisman and Gustafson all finished with two hits for Post 248, which is back in action Thursday at Virginia.
