Friday will be a big afternoon, as arguably the first HUGE baseball game of the regular season will take place at Lake Orion. Hopefully Mother Nature will hold off on any rain because this will be a battle between two of the area's best and two state title contenders when Stoney Creek meets Lake Orion.
There aren't many weaknesses on either team. Each has deep pitching staffs, hit the ball for both average and power and win in multiple ways, as both have shown this year in getting off to tremendous starts.
The teams will also play a doubleheader at Stoney Creek in May, so it won't be the first time they hook up. But for one Friday afternoon in April, this will be as good as it gets.
- Troy softball didn't have a good showing on Wednesday, getting swept in a doubleheader at Clarkston. However, Kosmo has no doubt that the Colts will be one of the premier teams in the area as the season goes on. The offense is too good and head coach Tom Calnen usually has his team playing its best ball at the end off the year, so never count out the Colts despite what could be a bad day or two in the regular season.
