Rails' Soderberg Hurls No-Hitter

 

DULUTH -- Proctor socked Cotton 20-1 on Chet Soderberg's no-hitter Wednesday in the District 26 high school baseball tournament at Wade Municipal Stadium.

 

Soderberg's no-hitter stopped Cotton, the South County champ, with but one run, and that was in the first inning on four walks. Soderberg walked six Cotton players as the losers left eight runners stranded.

 

Don Hanson belted a home run to the base of the center field flagpole with one on in the seventh. Soderberg helped his own cause with four hits. (Duluth News Tribune, May 21, 1964)

Proctor takes LSC title with Norton's no-hitter

 

CLOQUET -- Proctor clinched the Lake Superior Conference title with a 11-1 victory over Two Harbors in six innings at Cloquet Tuesday.

 

Dan Norton pitched a no-hitter for the Rails, striking out 12 batters. Karl Strom started the game for the Agates, combining with Curt Wilson, on in relief with no outs in the first, to give up nine hits.

 

Bill Richardson's two-run double in the third inning led the hitting for Proctor. Scott Pionk had a single and a double and scored twice.

 

Tuesday's win was the Rails' ninth straight, after a season-opener loss to Elk River, for a 9-1 overall record, and an 8-0 mark in the LSC. Proctor has one conference game remaining, against Morgan Park, but even a loss in that game will leave the Rails with the No. 1 conference ranking. (Duluth News Tribune, May 14, 1980)
