Again, we really can’t come up with a better system to spot a football than a group of adults trying their hardest to do it by sight?

D4 FINAL: Mendon 6, Brown City 2
Mendon repeats as champions.

W/r/t to Spartan Ventures, Batt and Gusciewicz were driving forces, and both sit/sat on the board, so the question for trustees seems to be: Do you constrain yourself to candidates that are going to further that plan/are generally on board? Or risk that being disrupted?
Batt leaves soon after MSU President heads to Clemson

This also heavily implies the trustees are thinking about this issue in a clear-eyed and institutional-health-first manner, which, well, about that...

Whatever one thinks of Batt, MSU would be well served to get its house in order and stop the revolving door of leadership at the university and in athletics the last decade. Yeesh.
Sources: Michigan State AD J Batt has emerged as the target of Kentucky’s Athletic Director search. The deal is not finalized, but Kentucky is amid a strong push to bring Batt back to the SEC.

D3 FINAL: Ravenna 4, Grass Lake 2
Ravenna had to hold on late but got the final out with the game tying run on second base.
Grass Lake trails 4-1 heading into the bottom of the 7th, needing three runs to stay alive for a repeat title. Ravenna is three outs away.

Have fallen behind on posting because doing that and writing on the previous game is not the easiest, but:
Ravenna is up 4-1 on Grass Lake going to the bottom of the third inning of the D3 title. Just hung a four spot in the top of the inning.

Grass Lake making it interesting with a one out RBI single scoring a runner from second.
Runners on first and second, still, with the winning run stepping to the plate.
4-2, Ravenna, B7.

Fielder's choice on the infield and it's second and third, two outs for Grass Lake, trailing 4-2.

D2 FINAL: Armada 9, Farmington Hills Mercy 1
Dominant performance from Armada start to finish, really. Pitcher Megan Cox dazzled in the circle.
D2 softball semifinal is underway between Armada and Farmington Hills Mercy. Armada just took a 2-0 lead T1 on a blast to left center by Taylor Capozzo.

Armada pouring it on, now, as Charlotte Stang belts a two-run home run out to left and it's 7-0.
Mercy HC Alec Lesko brings all nine to the circle for a meeting/discussion w/ one out, T4.

Fox gets a no-hitter broken up in the bottom of the fifth on a two-out double into right center. She hit a batter the previous inning (who then got caught stealing) so she had faced the minimum through four, regardless.
Has 10 Ks (of 15 outs, so far).

WOW, Walled Lake Northern takes the lead on a solo blast to left field off the foul pole, off the bat of Shaela Byrnes.
Just the third hit all game for WLN and it gives it a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the sixth.

Chciuk puts down the next three batters but entering the top of the 7th, Grand Haven needs a run to keep the game going.
It'll be the 8-9-1 portion of the lineup for Grand Haven.
