D1 Baseball Final: Eagles Take Flight
June 16, 2012
BATTLE CREEK – Hudsonville scored the first run of Saturday’s Division 1 Final, and rallied for four more in the top of the sixth to win its first MHSAA title, 9-6 over Warren DeLaSalle.
The Eagles entered the tournament ranked No. 6 in the state coaches poll, but had never appeared in a championship game.
The game featured 15 hits but also eight errors, and they played a part for both teams in a back-and-forth battle. The score was tied 1-1 after the first inning, then 4-4 after the third before the Eagles extended their lead to 9-4 in the sixth.
DeLaSalle scored only two runs in the bottom of that inning and went out 1-2-3 against sophomore Logan Magsig in the seventh.
Magsig also drove in two runs for Hudsonville (33-5), and senior Tyler Baar hit a home run and drove in three.
Senior Kevin Carroll drove in two runs and senior Mike Abiragi had two hits and scored a run for the Pilots, who finished 20-23-1 after a 3-14-1 start. Click for a full box score.

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.
Below is this week's segment – Baseball/Softball Overthrow - Listen
With a runner on first base, the batter hits a ground ball to the third baseman. The third baseman fields it and overthrows the first baseman, with the ball going out of play. What bases are the runner and batter awarded?
Should it be runners on first and second?
Runners on second and third?
Or … a run scored and the batter goes to second base?
If you said runners on second and third, you are correct. With the overthrow going out of the field of play, the runner and batter are awarded two bases each at the time of the pitch. The runner on first goes to third. The batter goes to second.
And now the next batter is up with two runners in scoring position.
