Ehmke keeps ERA at 0.00 as Austin takes District Two title
Merlin Ehmke pitched through a 15 day layoff but kept his earned run average at zero as Austin defeated Freeborn 6-1 to win the District Two championship at Marcusen Park. Centerfielder Bob Rosel led off with a single and the Packers exploded for three runs in the first and two in the second. Seltz praised Ehmke after he switched to a fastball and limited the Yeomen to two hits rest of the way. The win gives Austin its 22nd District Two crown since 1948 and sets up a Monday regional against New Richland at Red Wing.
