Mason Davis had himself quite a week.
In a span of just over 48 hours, Davis not only had his first home run of his high school baseball career, but turned in a dominant performance on the mound.
The senior threw a no-hitter Monday, fanning 11 batters in a 11-1 five-inning home victory over Littlefork-Big Falls.
Davis, who hit one out of the park two days earlier at Blackduck, has helped fuel a recent hot streak for the Wolves.
They’ve won seven straight games to improve to 8-3 overall and are putting themselves in prime position for a high seed when the Section 7A playoffs begin May 31.
Before then, the Wolves will be busy, with three games this weekend as part of the annual Veterans Memorial Showcase, and five more in as many days in a stretch that starts Monday in Virginia.
Ely figures to be battle-tested, and experienced by the time the playoffs begin at the end of the month.
