Proctor, Cloquet, East Triumph

Proctor and Cloquet joined Morgan Park atop the Big Nine Conference standings with impressive high school baseball victories Tuesday afternoon.

The three teams now have 2-0 records. Proctor shunted aside defending champion Denfeld, 4-1, at Wheeler Field...

Joe Lane and Jerry Gruber shared the hero's role for Proctor against Denfeld as the Hunters fell to their second straight defeat.

Lane pitched a brilliant two-hitter, striking out 11, while Gruber's two-run double in the fifth inning padded the Rails' final victory margin.

Denfeld's only hits -- both singles -- came off the bats of Bob Backstrom in the fifth inning and Dennis Abrahamson in the sixth.

The Hunters scored an unearned run in the fourth...
