The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-06-22
ANOTHER WIN
FOR ELY MEN.

Rain which threatened all morning
finally came down in the middle of
what was promising to be good game
and the umpire was forced to call it
a game at the end of the sixth inning.
Chisholm failed to score in the first
inning, all three men going out on
fly balls to the Ely outfield, one to left
and two to right field. In Ely's half,
Moravitz was hit by pitched ball,
stole second and scored on Bouski's
single to center Chisholm got man
on first in the second inning, but he
was thrown out trying to steal sec
ond. Lindbeck first up for Ely in the
second, doubled to left and scored on
Niemi's single to center. Niemi 60
ing to second on throw to the plate.
Niemi went third on wild pitch and
scored on Starkman's sacrifice fly to
Center field. Neither team scored in
the third. But in the fourth G. Lahti
was safe on an error, zgonc was on
when Ely tried for double play and
failed to get either man. Zgonc was
out stealing second. Hodack flew out
to center, and Sinko was safe at first
after taking three strikes and the
catcher missing the last one. Roushel
was hit by pitched ball and filled the
bases. G. Lahti scored on a wild
pitch. E. Lahti drew a base on balls
and Stuckel singled scoring Sinko and
Roushel. E. Lahti being thrown out
at third on the play. Ely failed to
register in the last of the fourth. Rain
began to come down at this stage and
the pitchers had trouble controlling
the ball, and had to rely on their
teammates for support as straight
ball was the only thing they could
get near the plate. Doliner first man
up for Gin 5th) Chisholm singled.
Lackner, second up singled and G..
Lahti drew base on balls filling the
bases. Zgonc was over anxious and
swung too hard for three healthy ones
struck out. Hodack hit a liner to
center, which Jokinen gathered in and
threw to the plate holding all run
ners to their bases Sinko struck out.
Ely scored twice in their half of the
fifth inning. Niemi, first up for Ely
doubled to the right-center fence and
scored on Starkman's single to CEN
ter, Starkman going to second on
throw to the plate. He went to third
on wild pitch and scored while the
third baseman was disposing of the
next batsman who had hit slow one
down to him.
Things looked bad for Ely in the
start of the sixth Roushel first up
was hit by a pitched ball. He stole
second and E. Lahti struck out. Stuck
ell was given base on balls and
Doliner was hit by pitched ball fill
ing the bases. Rain by this time was
coming so thick that the umpire called
the game for about fifteen minutes,
after which it slackened up bit and
the teams went onto the field again.
With the bases loaded and one out
Lackner hit liner at H. Chinn at
first which was labeled for two bases
and possibly three. Chinn grabbed
the drive and touched first base COM
pleting a double play which saved at
least tie if not the game for Ely.
Ely went out in order in their half of
the sixth. The game was then called
as the grounds were too soft and it
had settled down to a steady rain.
