Saturday Tournament Roundup

Here is a quick roundup of Saturday's tournament action around the state.

Zeeland East Tournament
Forrest Hills Northern won the Zeeland East Baseball Tournament beating both Comstock Park and Zeeland. Game one was a close one with a 3-2 final.  Game two saw Forrest Hills Northern pound out 12 hits winning 14-4.

Best of the Best Invitational
No. 1 Gull Lake played two tough opponents Saturday.  First up was reigning Division Two state champs St. Claire and current No. 6 team in the state.  They won a grinding fashion with a final tally of 5-4.  Next up is current No. 2 team in Division Two, Grand Rapids Christian.  But Gull Lake proved why they are the current No. 1 team winning 10-4.

Lakeview Invitational
Montague took the Lakeview Invitational beating Belding and Mason County Central handily.  However, Mason County Central's Payton Tybdall struck out 11 in a complete game effort.

Columbia Tournament
Sturgis continues its winning ways after previously beating Gull Lake.  Playing at Sienna Heights, Sturgis beat Brooklyn Columbia Central 5-4 in the championship.

Panther Classic
Saginaw Nouvel had quite a day on the mound.  Nouvel's Drew Kind threw a no hitter in game one and teamate Josh Buchalski threw a one hitter in game two.  It definitely helps when your pitchers strike out twenty-four hitters on the day.  

Buckley Wooden Bat Classic
Shelby improved its record on the year to 15-6 with its two wins on Saturday.  They beat Evart and Buckley with solid pitching performances from Spencer Peters and Kody Plummer. 

Addison Tournament
Pitching seemed to be a theme on Saturday and Jonesville followed suit only surrendering three hits on the day.  They beat Dearborn Heights Annapolis and Addison.

Mickey Stanley Baseball Tournament
In a difficult year for Muskegon, a bright spot was had on Saturday as they won the Mickey Stanley Baseball Tournament.  Now 4-16 on the year they beat Grand Rapids Ottawa Hills in the championship and Grand Rapids Creston in game one.

EK Invitational
Mattawan, who is having a great year, beat host East Kentwood 5-0 behind strong pitching from Austin Collison.  Other top performers for Mattawan included B.J. Butler and Trevor Fink who both went 2-4 at the plate.
