Loons coming home with a series advantage in the postseason

After finishing with the best overall record in the Midwest League, the Loons began postseason play on the road Wednesday night. In a best-of-three series against Lake County, Great Lakes stole game one 6-4 thanks to 13 hits and zero errors.

The scoring came early and often for the Loons in their playoff opener as Justin Yurchak went deep in the first inning and James Outman hit his 20th home run of 2019 in the third. In total, the Loons scored their six runs across five different frames.

A majority of the Loons offense came against Lake County starter Shane McCarthy who allowed five runs (three earned) on 10 hits in five innings. McCarthy (L, 0-1) had two crucial errors committed behind him by center fielder Quentin Holmes and second baseman Jose Fermin that led to two Loons runs. The Loons won by two.

The Loons used four pitchers to get through game one led by starter Ryan Pepiot. Pepiot tossed two innings and allowed one unearned run. The combination of Justin Bruihl (W, 1-0), Justin Hageman and Aaron Ochsenbein threw the final seven innings. Ochsenbein (S, 1) allowed the tying run to come to the plate in the ninth but was able to shut the door on the Captains.

The Midwest League Eastern Division semifinals now shift to Dow Diamond for game two on Thursday night. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. EDT. The Loons went 4-1 at home against Lake County this year.

Flint basketball community mourns the loss of Coach Rob

His name is Leonard Robinson, but he is best known as Coach Rob. He’s been an icon in the city of Flint since the 1980’s helping some of the city’s best basketball talent, but on Tuesday, September 3rd, the community says goodbye to one of their own.

Robinson passed away at the age of 63 due to a health decline after dealing with a massive heart attack in the summer of 2019. He needed open-heart surgery, but according to longtime friend Mike Williams, “his heart wasn’t strong enough to handle the surgery, but he fought the good fight every day.”

Robinson was on the sidelines of the Beecher boys basketball team for Williams’ entire 15-year career. But aside from Beecher, Robinson had a hand in all things Flint basketball since the ’80s, mentoring kids of all ages.

“Life is like a game,” said Williams. “There is going to be a beginning and an end. We all know what the end is going to be. It’s not whether or not you win or lose, it is how you play the game. It shows how Rob played the game of life. Everybody appreciated him. If you compare it to basketball, he wasn’t a good teammate. He was a great teammate. He was somebody who gave and now that he’s gone people feel the loss.”

Big basketball names from the city of Flint took to social media to spread their condolences, for example, Flint-native and MSU alumni Miles Bridges, who currently plays for the Charlotte Hornets.

Path to Greatness: Heath Williams

Heath Williams could have ended up anywhere in the college football world, but he sure is happy he landed at Saginaw Valley State University.

The East Lansing native had attended several Division-I camps throughout high school, thinking there was potential interest from universities like Michigan State to Central. However, it turns out, his one lone offer came from SVSU and he was more than thrilled to take it. He said he felt a connection during his recruitment process and says he now wouldn’t change a thing.

That doesn’t mean though that the falling below the radar of a highly-sought recruit doesn’t stick with him. He says although it isn’t something he hangs on, he does play with a chip on his shoulder. SVSU head coach Ryan Brady added that he’s glad he plays with a chip on his shoulder and that he gives 100% each game and each practice.

Williams was even named a preseason All-American by D2football.com. He is listed on the second team at the defensive line position. This marks the second preseason All-American plaudit for Williams, who was named to the College Football America Yearbook Division II Preseason Starting Lineup as well.

The Cardinals’ senior had a breakout junior campaign in helping lead the Cardinals to an 8-3 overall record and 5-3 mark in the GLIAC. He stood out as one of the top defensive linemen in the league in 2018, registering a GLIAC-best 13 sacks and 19 tackles-for-loss. He ranked 5th on the team with 56 tackles, adding a forced fumble. His 17.5 career sacks move him into the No. 10 spot all-time at Saginaw Valley State University and the 13.5 sacks are the third-best single season figure. He was named to the All-GLIAC First Team and would go on to earn a pair of All-Super Region Three honors and being named to the Don Hansen Football Gazette’s All-American First Team.

His transformation from high school to college hasn’t gone unnoticed either. Despite being under-recruited as a high school athlete, he’s getting major attention now as a Cardinal. He has been told by his coaching staff that NFL recruits have been in contact about Williams when he is done at SVSU. While Williams admits making it to the NFL is his dream, he is concerned with his goal ahead and his time at SVSU, which starts Saturday, September 7th against Texas A&M-Kingsville.
