Rails Smear Agates, 14-3
(Duluth News Tribune, August 2, 1947)

Slugging out 11 hits against a pair of Two Harbors pitchers, the Proctor high school baseball team moved into the semi-finals of the District 26 tournament with a 14-3 victory over the Agates in a preliminary game of the Duluth-Aberdeen fray at Municipal stadium last night.

The Proctor victory sends the Rails against the Duluth Central nine at a date not determined next week. Denfeld, termed a favorite in the tourney, meets Esko at 5:45 p.m. Monday in the stadium as a prelim to the Dukes-Sioux Falls Northern league attraction.

Held in check through the fourth inning, the Rails bounced out for five runs in the fifth, added six in the sixth and climaxed the scoring spree with a pair in the seventh.

Rails Eliminate Agates 14 to 3
(Two Harbors Chronicle and Times, August 7, 1947)

The Proctor "Rails" baseball team soundly thumped the Two Harbors high school nine 14 to 3 Friday night in Duluth Municipal stadium as a preliminary affair to the Duluth Dukes-Sioux Falls Canaries Northern League contest.

The fracas was the opening game of the district Eight high school baseball tournament, the outcome which will decide the district champ, and by losing the game the Agates' summer season of baseball in completed. LaCasse started on the hill for the Agate Bay nine and was greeted with a barrage of hits and gave up duty on the hill to Gustafson in the sixth stanza.

LaCasse had the "Rails" eating out of his hand during the first four frames but Bernard was equally as tough with the local stickers. The Agates went into a one run lead early in the contest as Bobby Miller tallied after two men were out on Hoganson's long single but that was the last time the local club headed Proctor. Proctor, after tying the count in the second frame one all, hit LaCasse hard in the fifth stanza for six hits and five runs. Not being satisfied with this lead, the Rails piled on six more markers in the sixth on two hits, and collected a pair of runs in the last frame to amass their total of 14 runs on 11 hits.

Two Harbors shortened the Rails' lead in the sixth and seventh frames by one run in each of these two innings but the big lead piled up by Proctor was too much for the local nine. Hoganson and R. Giddings picked up a pair of hits apiece to lead the Agate nine. C. Main hit for three bases in the seventh and collected two singles for stick honors on the Rail squad.
