Softball team edged by the ’Bay

Mother Nature continues to be an obstacle for the Ely Timberwolves, but Silver Bay proved to be an even more difficult foe.

The Mariners ran their record to 13-1 in a low-scoring affair and upended Ely 4-2 in a battle of Section 7A high school softball powers on the North Shore.

On a day when the teams faced not only each other but a brisk wind and temperatures in the 30s, Silver Bay got the upper hand.
