To get 40 here today feels like the program is really going and continuing in the right direction,” Hurley coach Scott Erickson said. “Very happy. A lot of sc...

Twelve walks and multiple errors compounded Hurley’s offensive struggles. Eight of the 11 Screaming Eagle runs scored on walks, errors and wild pitch...
HURLEY — Hurley pitcher Grant Innes took a no-hitter into the fifth inning as the Midgets breezed past Cornell/Lake Holcombe 11-0 in Friday’s WIAA Division 3 regional opener. Innes struck out 10, two in every inning of the five-inning game. The other out in the first four innings was a groundout. “That just seemed to be the rhythm there for awhile,” Innes said. “Four-seem fastball was blowing ‘em by pretty good. That just seemed to be my No. 1 along with the two-seam and curve.” The only ball...

HURLEY — In dominating fashion, Hurley blitzed Butternut 17-4 and 18-4 as Hurley's hitting attack came to life with 35 runs and 35 hits.

Butternut's Riley Christian was safe on an error, Ryan Prellwitz walked and Steven Scherwinski hit a frozen rope single to right field. Christian tried to score from second base but was gunned down on a strong throw fro...

MINNEAPOLIS — The Hurley Midgets baseball team had to travel more than 250 miles — and still go inside — to start its baseball season. They were only scrimmages, against Chequamegon and Phillips, but at least there was baseball at the Metrodome Thursday in Minneapolis. “Despite four feet of snow on the ground, we still managed to get our first baseball games in, so that’s nice,” Hurley manager Aaron Bender said. The Midgets played Phillips first and the teams were tied at 0-0 through thr...
