Wolves break into win column

The Ely Timberwolves’ first two wins of the spring were never in doubt.

Grant Chittum’s first career home run - a three-run blast - was part of a first-inning outburst in Ely’s 111, five-inning high school baseball victory over Cook County on a chilly home opening afternoon at the ballpark on April 24.

Senior Hunter Halbakken flirted with perfection until the fourth inning, and still fired a no-hitter with nine strikeouts.
