Blackhawks best Rails
Duluth News Tribune, April 15, 1976

AURORA -- Ray Harsala's single in the 11th inning drove in Dave Ethier with the winning run Wednesday and lifted Aurora-Hoyt Lakes to a 2-1 baseball decision over Proctor.

Proctor tied the game on three Blackhawk errors in the sixth after Aurora had taken advantage of a hit bastman and two Rails' errors to score the first run of the game in the fourth.

Al Opitz registered the mound victory by going all the way for the Blackhawks, striking out 10 and yielding only four hits.
