Rails, 'Jacks Tie in 10

PROCTOR -- Cloquet's Paul Granholm and Proctor's Bill Bort locked horns yesterday afternoon in a pitchers' duel in which neither boy lost.

The game ended in a 1-1 deadlock after 10 innings when a scheduled softball game forced the teams to call it [a] day. But the two clubs will settle accounts 4 p.m. Tuesday when they tangle at Cloquet.

Although both Granholm and Bort were tough customers on the hill, Granholm did probably the best job of hurling. He dished out only two hits to the Rails and had a no-hitter going for six innings. He struck out 12 and walked four. But Bort was no easy pickings for the Cloquet lads, either. Bort yielded only four hits, and although he was in constant trouble with 10 walks, he was able to come through when things got tight.

Cloquet got its run in the first inning when Jerry Pollard walked and Forrest tripled him home with two down. Proctor got its run in the seventh when [Chuck Birch] walked, went to second on a passed ball and came home when catcher Terry McGovern ruined Granholm's no-hitter with a no-out single. Proctor's Bill Breemeersch got the only other extra base hit of the game, a double in the eighth.
