The 2019 MHSAA Division 1 Final had moved into the eighth inning, and Warren Regina teammate Marisa Muglia had led off the bottom half by reaching first base on an error. After pinch-runner Jenna Holt moved all the way to third DIVISION 1 base on a sacrifice, James watched Howell walk Regina’s next two hitters to set up force plays at every base. Now the Secchia Stadium bases were loaded for the Saddlelites freshman. James sent a grounder back to the pitching circle, and a bobble gave Holt enough time to cross the plate and finish a 3-2 win that clinched the program’s seventh Finals championship. “When Adriana came up and the pitcher bobbled it … I have no words for it,’’ Holt said. Added James: “All (the pitcher’s) balls were moving outside. I just saw the ball right on the inside corner, low, and I just went for it. We had nothing to lose, and it paid off. I was surprised they walked the two batters because it has really never happened. I was really nervous.’’ The championship was the program’s first since 2015, and all seven have come in Hockey Weekly Action Photos Division 1 or the former Class A under longtime coach Diane Laffey. Howell’s Avrey Wolverton opened her team’s half of the eighth inning with a single, and Maddie Springer walked. Both moved up, but the threat ended on a Muglia strikeout. Muglia finished with 12 strikeouts, and Howell pitcher Molly Carney struck out seven and gave up only five hits. Regina finished the year 30-11, while Howell ended 36-4. Escanaba 7, Stevensville Lakeshore 3 DIVISION 2 Two rarities happened in the first inning of the 2019 MHSAA Division 2 softball cham- pionship game at Michigan State’s Secchia Stadium. The first was Escanaba all-state pitch- er Gabi Salo (left) allowed a walk against Stevensville Lakeshore. The second was Salo gave up a run. Salo entered the championship game with a 25-2 record, 0.24 earned run average and 337 strikeouts and just 21 walks. If that’s not enough, she had given up only six earned runs all year. She gave up three runs – two earned – in the championship game, but contained the Lancers enough to secure a 7-3 victory that clinched the Eskymos’ second straight Division 2 title. “I thought I had my best stuff today,’’ said the junior pitcher. “I thought I went out strong. This means so much. Our school went without a state title from 1981 until last year. For us to bring home another one, I don’t have words.’’ The Lancers surprisingly struck early when Salo surrendered a two-out walk and Meghan Younger drove her home on a double just out of the reach of the centerfielder. It was just the seventh earned run Salo had given up this season. She finished with 11 strikeouts while allowing seven hits. Escanaba finished the spring 34-3, while Lakeshore ended 33-11. Salo helped her own cause in the second inning with a game-tying sacrifice fly. Escanaba loaded the bases in the bottom of the fourth inning and Nicole Kamin and the Eskymos took advantage of a fly ball dropping out of an outfielder’s mitt that allowed three Hockey Weekly Action Photos runs to score and gave the reigning champ a 5-1 lead. Millington 8, Schoolcraft 0 Runner-up in 2018 – and seeking the first team championship in any sport in school history – Millington made sure it would be heading home with a soft- ball title in 2019. The Cardinals dominated Schoolcraft from the start of an 8-0 victory in the MHSAA Division 3 Final at Michigan State’s Secchia Stadium, a year after missing out on that milestone victory by just a run.

    The UCLA baseball program has sent eight players to play for the USA Baseball National Team a total of 10 times, beginning with the selection of Shane Mack in 1984. Most recently, former UCLA shortstop Brandon Crawford helped the U.S. National Team capture its second consecutive FISU (International University Sports Federation) World Championship in the summer of 2006. Crawford’s selection in 2006 marked the first time a Bruin had been named since Karp, a right-handed pitcher, competed for the national team in 2000. The 2006 U.S. National Team finished its summer campaign with a 28-2-1 mark and successfullyl defended its gold medal won in the 2004 FISU Tournament in Taiwan. UCLA’s student-athletes have not been the only individuals affiliated with the U.S. National Team.

  • If White Sox Right-Hander Hector Noesi

    If White Sox Right-Hander Hector Noesi

    NOESI TURNS IN FLAWLESS CACTUS LEAGUE DEBUT By Scott Merkin / MLB.com GLENDALE, Ariz. -- If White Sox right-hander Hector Noesi pitched as well for the Mariners as he has against the Mariners over the past year, then the right-hander might still be pitching for the Mariners. Over two starts with the White Sox in 2014 against one of his former teams, Noesi allowed one unearned run during 14 innings. Noesi picked up right where he left off in Saturday's Cactus League debut by retiring all six Seattle hitters faced at Camelback Ranch, throwing 18 strikes among his 28 pitches. But Noesi doesn't consider it extra motivation when facing the Mariners. "It's not motivated. I was telling some friends in the training room that I should pitch to every team like I pitch to them," said a smiling Noesi. "I'm gonna take that for this year because it's not that I have a feeling for them, but I always try to go there for them because I don't want them to say, 'Oh, that's why we put him on waivers,' you know. "I want everybody to see that it's not. You have to learn and get better and better every time. It's not going to be that easy." Those past struggles with the Mariners and briefly with the Rangers seem to have helped Noesi develop with the White Sox. The team's fourth or fifth starter recorded three outs by ground ball and three by fly ball Saturday, while working on getting the fastball inside to both right-handed and left-handed hitters as stressed during recent side sessions by pitching coach Don Cooper.

    Carrasco Doing Part to Make Holidays Bright by Mandy Bell MLB.Com

    Carrasco doing part to make holidays bright By Mandy Bell MLB.com @MandyBell02 A young Carlos Carrasco spent each Christmas Eve writing the perfect letter to place under the tree so that Santa could find the wish list overnight. The following morning was filled with excitement, as Carrasco would race to the tree to see his desired toy sitting where he placed the note just hours prior. Christmas morning can be one of the most exciting times of the year for young children. But it didn't take Carrasco long to realize that not everyone was fortunate enough to celebrate the holiday by opening presents. Growing up, the Indians pitcher said he noticed a lot of people who would go out of their way to help children at all times of the year, and he made it his goal to do the same. Although his work is done year-round, the holiday season holds a special place in Carrasco's heart. Through his Carlos "Cookie" Carrasco Children's Foundation, the hurler ships toys to areas in Venezuela and the Dominican Republic to help brighten families' holidays. "I really like [to help during] the holidays, because I know that there are children who do not get toys," Carrasco said. "That's why we're there." Many of the gifts have already been sent, and almost all of the remaining toys will reach their destinations before Christmas Day. Carrasco has provided families with holiday gifts for the last few years and said he will never forget seeing the kids' faces for the first time.
