Proctor claims title in 9-1 win

TWO HARBORS -- Proctor won its first outright Lake Superior Conference baseball title ever by whipping Two Harbors 9-1 Thursday behind the two-hit pitching and 16 strikeouts of lefthander Mike Grover.

The Rails' victory in the make-up of a May 17 rainout gives them an 8-1 final conference mark, while Central and Silver Bay tied for second with 7-2 marks.

The game was tied 1-1 when John Baublitz tripled with two outs in the fifth inning to drive in two runs and scored himself following an error on the play to make it 4-1.

Baublitz had three hits in the game and Joe Gaboury two for the Rails.
