Wolves reach 7A double elim

Ely’s high school softball team remains alive in postseason play, but now there’s no margin for error.

Second-seeded Silver Bay roughed up the Timberwolves 11-1 on Tuesday, opening the double-elimination phase of the Section 7A tournament.

Ely reached the final-eight and the double-elimination phase with a 14-4 victory over Floodwood earlier in the day, but the loss to the Mariners sent the Wolves into the elimination bracket.
