March Madness

Central Michigan Chippewas vs. Ohio Bobcats

Theunissen Stadium-Mt. Pleasant, MI: Madness. Sheer Madness. Attending a baseball game in Michigan in March, one would have to be classified as mad, or crazy, or whatever. The weather actually wasn’t that bad, however, and dealing with a personal loss, my dad and I decided to use baseball as therapy. This was the Chips home opener, so there was a decent crowd on hand (until the sun disappeared, anyway).

The game itself was a rough one for the Chips. Sophomore Nick Deeg took the loss one the mound, but two unearned runs didn’t help his cause. CMU had a couple other defensive lapses that could have been errors, also, so a tough day for the left-hander. Five times during the game the Chippewas had at least two runners in scoring position, and stranded 13 total for the game. Nick Regnier and Alex Borglin had two hits and an RBI each to lead CMU offensively. Logan Regnier and Joe Houlihan each legged out doubles, and freshman Zach McKinstry added a hit and an RBI.

The Chippewas bounced back to beat Ohio the nest two games, but we were left with the lone loss in the series. Still a fun day, and getting to a ballgame really helped take our minds off things for a little while. We’ll try to see the Chips play again this season for sure. Final Score: Chippewas 4, Bobcats 6.

CMU Fall World Series Game 5

Team Maroon vs. Team Gold

Theunissen Stadium-Mount Pleasant, MI: We’ve had so much rain here in Michigan this past month, we were very lucky that we caught a break last weekend, and actually enjoyed some fall baseball. The Central Michigan University Chippewas play a split-squad Fall World Series, and we were able to see game five. It was a beautiful day, and with the sun shining down, it seemed a lot warmer than the 65 degree temperature. We usually go to football games this time of year, but the Chips were out of town, and I prefer baseball, anyway.

We each picked teams, with Lily and I taking Team Gold (white uniforms), and Brian and my Dad siding with Team Maroon. Good choice for us, as Gold put three runs across in the first inning. Maroon pitcher Adam Aldred gave up four runs and struck out five in four plus innings. On the other side, Gordon Grasjean was great on the hill, and no-hit the Maroon squad through five innings. He ended up giving up one run on four hits, and struck out two batters in his seven innings of work. Offensively, Adam Collins led the way for the Gold, with two hits and two RBI’s, and Tyler Huntley also added an RBI. For Team Maroon, Logan Regnier’s triple in the seventh accounted for his teams lone run.

Any extra baseball we get in is a plus, and this was a fun and perfect day for it. Very blessed and lucky to be able to spend this time with family watching a game. I’m not looking forward to winter at all, and April can’t come soon enough! Final: Team Gold 6, Team Maroon 1.
