Grizzlies slip 12-5 to Virginia in baseball opener

Posted

PHOTO: North Woods Grizzlies pitcher Andrew Zika zeroes in on a Virginia Blue Devils batter in the Grizzlies’ rain-soaked season-opener on Friday on the artificial turf diamond at Mesabi East in Aurora. Zika blanked the Blue Devils in the first inning as the Grizzlies manufactured a 1-0 lead, but the Virginia battery came alive after that, hammering North Woods hurlers and claiming a 12-5 victory. With cancellation of games scheduled at Silver Bay, Littlefork-Big River and Wrenshall, the Grizzlies will hope for better weather for a scheduled April 20 tilt at Ely.
