An eight-run sixth inning helps West team to take bragging rights in the Michigan High School Baseball Coaches Association All-Star game for a second straight year Tuesday night.
DETROIT – The West All-Stars earned bragging rights over the East at the annual Michigan High School Baseball Coaches Association (MHSBCA) All-Star game for a second year in a row at Comerica Park on Tuesday night. The West erased an early 4-2 deficit with five runs in the third inning and then blew the game open with an eight-run sixth. The West side batted around the order in the inning to take a commanding 16-6 lead. Its bullpen held the East scoreless in the final three innings to close out the victory. “It wasn’t how we drew it up,” East All-Stars and Birmingham Groves High School coach Jim Crosby said, laughing. “They had that one big inning that killed us.

The Eagles varsity girls soccer team’s leading scorer captures the crown!
Ferndale’s Lexie Brisson-Fast wins the Patch Athlete of the Week title for May 28-June 2 to give the Eagles their first winner of the spring season.

Warriors advance with 17-6 win in the Division 1 semifinals over Birmingham United on Wednesday night at Catholic Central.
NOVI – The Brother Rice varsity lacrosse team holds itself to a very high standard. The Warriors are working to win their 10th straight championship. Even though they advanced to the Division 1 state finals Wednesday by beating Birmingham United 17-6 at Catholic Central High School, coach Rob Ambrose didn’t think his team played up to those standards. “I thought we didn’t quite play our game tonight,” Ambrose said. “I’m not disrespecting them at all, but I thought we were a better team than we showed.” Brother Rice (20-2) came out and scored three goals in the opening minutes, but towards the end of the first quarter it was Ambrose who called a timeout to let his team know he wasn’t happy with what he was seeing on the field. “I called the…
