Aces Shine for Monroe St. Mary, Bronson
June 12, 2015
By Butch Harmon
Special for Second Half
EAST LANSING – It may not have been a perfect game.
But the no-hitter tossed by Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central sophomore Meghan Beaubien on Friday was impressive enough.
She entered the Division 3 Semifinal against Pinconning with nine no-hitters this season, including five perfect games, and reaching double digits by silencing the Spartans’ bats to lead St. Mary to a 6-0 win and berth in Saturday’s championship game.
Beaubien, who also averages 16 strikeouts per game, hit her average as she fanned 16 batters without allowing a walk.
Only a pair of third-inning errors prevented Beaubien from notching a perfect game. Those errors came at the start of the inning and gave Pinconning (30-14) a shot of momentum by putting runners on the corners with no outs. Beaubien, however, took the air out of that momentum by striking out the next two batters and inducing the third out on a fly ball to center field.
“That was a big situation to get out of,” said Beaubien, when asked about the jam she was in during the third inning. “They had runners on first and third with no out. They had their number nine hitter coming up, then it was back to the top of the order. So it was a big deal to get out of.”
Beaubien had a little wiggle room to work with thanks to a four-run first inning that staked St. Mary to a 4-0 lead.
With two outs and one runner on base, St. Mary (36-5) strung together four straight hits. Julianne Venier doubled in the first run, and Keeley Taft followed with an RBI single to give the Kestrels a 2-0 lead. Danielle Michael followed with a run-scoring double, and Michaela Rogers laced an RBI single to close out the scoring.
“The early runs help a lot,” said Monroe St. Mary coach John Morningstar. “We feel that if we get three or four runs, Meghan is pretty much automatic. Obviously it made it a lot easier with the early runs. It gave everyone some breathing room.”
Having Beaubien in the circle firing strikes also made it easier for the St. Mary players and coaches to take a breath. Beaubien entered the game with a Monroe County record 430 strikeouts to her credit.
“This is what she does,” Morningstar said. “She averages 16 strikeouts a game. This was her 10th no-hitter, and she has five perfect games. At the level of which she is pitching, what she does out there does not surprise me. Obviously you don’t expect a no hitter or a perfect game, and it’s unfair to her to expect one.”
For Beaubien, who has already given a verbal commitment to the University of Michigan, no-hitter number 10 was more than special – even if it wasn’t a perfect game.
“This is definitely up there,” Beaubien said. “To get a no-hitter in the state semifinals and get us into the state championship game is a pretty big deal. I never try to go out and throw a no-hitter and don’t expect it, but I do expect a lot out of myself when I go out there.”
The shutout also gave the Kestrels plenty of momentum heading into Saturday’s 5:30 p.m. title game against Bronson.
“To have a no-hitter in the state semifinals, it gives us a lot of confidence going into tomorrow,” Beaubien said.
Bronson 5, Montague 0
With more than half its roster freshmen, including four starters, the future looked promising for the Vikings (37-7) at the start of the season.
That future arrived early, as halfway through the season Bronson coach Becky Gray knew she had a team capable of accomplishing special things.
Bronson accomplished something very special during Friday’s Semifinal – earn its first MHSAA softball championship game berth.
“At the beginning of the year, I honestly didn’t know how good we would be,” Gray said. “We graduated five seniors from last year, and I did not know how the freshmen would do. As the season went on, I knew it was a possibility.”
It also was during midseason that senior pitcher Skyler Sobeski took her game to the next level. Already an accomplished pitcher, Sobeski began a run in mid-May that saw her allow only one earned run through the end of the regular season and up through Friday’s win.
Sobeski scattered two hits and struck out 12 Montague batters en route to the shutout.
“It was definitely exciting pitching in front of all these people here,” Sobeski said. “I never pitched in front of a crowd this big before.”
Sobeski relied on her normal pitches to get the job done.
“I was throwing my curves and rises,” Sobeski said. “That is what I usually throw.”
Sobeski also pitched with the lead after the first inning. Bronson took a 1-0 advantage as Kelsey Robinson led off with a walk and then came in to score on an error after a sacrifice bunt by Hannah Hoover.
Bronson added four insurance runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Freshman Payton Robinson started the rally with a single. Fellow freshmen Kiana Mayer then reached on an error, and freshman Kaitlyn Czajkowski added another single. Robinson then delivered a two-run single, breaking the game open, and Sobeski later helped her own cause with a two-run single to close out the scoring.
The win was the 18th in a row for Bronson, and the Vikings have outscored their six playoff foes by a 49-1 margin. Montague, making its first Semifinal appearance, finished 22-13.

Unionville-Sebewaing will return to Michigan State’s Secchia Stadium this weekend with yet another chance to make history, this time by potentially setting the record for most consecutive MHSAA Finals championships on the softball diamond.
And we’re also guaranteed to have a team beginning a title streak Saturday for the first time.
While USA in Division 4 plays to conclude this season with a sixth-straight Finals victory – the Patriots currently are tied with Kalamazoo Christian 1996-2000 with a record five consecutive championships – all four Division 3 contenders are playing for what would be the first Finals titles in their program histories.
Similarly, Hudsonville in Division 1 also is back seeking a repeat, and half the Division 2 field is seeking a first title as well.
This weekend’s schedule is as follows:
Division 1 – Thursday
Utica Ford vs. South Lyon – 3 p.m.
Hudsonville vs. Saline – 5:30 p.m.
Division 2 – Thursday
Carleton Airport vs. Paw Paw – 10 a.m.
Escanaba vs. Richmond – 12:30 p.m.
Division 3 – Friday
Grass Lake vs. Algonac – 3 p.m.
Clare vs. Ravenna – 5:30 p.m.
Division 4 – Friday
Saginaw Michigan Lutheran Seminary vs. Unionville-Sebewaing – 10 a.m.
Mendon vs. Hillman – 12:30 p.m.
FINALS – Saturday
Division 1 – 12:30 p.m.
Division 2 – 10 a.m.
Division 3 – 5:30 p.m.
Division 4 – 3 p.m.
Tickets cost $11 and may be purchased online only at GoFan. One ticket is good for all baseball, softball and girls soccer games at MSU’s Old College Field that day. All Semifinals and Finals will be broadcast and available with subscription from MHSAA.tv.
Below is a glance at all 16 teams taking the field (with statistics through Regional Finals):
Division 1
HUDSONVILLE
Record/rank: 34-3, No. 3
Coach: Tom Vruggink, 44th season (1,232-292)
League finish: First in Ottawa-Kent Conference Red
Championship history: Four MHSAA titles (most recent 2024)
Players to watch: Ava Gardner, sr. OF (.589, 70 R, 18 2B, 53 RBI); Tessa Heffelbower, jr. SS (.541, 60 R, 21 2B, 10 HR, 58 RBI); Kamryn Stankus, fr. OF (.518, 48 R, 17 2B, 55 RBI, 19 SB).
Outlook: Hudsonville has had quite a two-year run, building on last season’s undefeated title run by running its winning streak to 48 through April 23 of this spring, which gave the program the third-longest in MHSAA softball history. Gardner and Heffelbower were two of the team’s five all-state first-team selections a year ago, and they’ve anchored the lineup with Stankus, sophomore Lauren Luchies (.415, 37 R, 36 RBI) and four others hitting at least .375 bolstering output. Sophomores Paige Visser (14-0, 2.76 ERA) and Sophia VanKempen (11-1, 3.21) have thrown the most of four pitchers with wins this spring, and Visser also is among those leading hitters at .386.
SALINE
Record/rank: 37-3-2, No. 2
Coach: Rebecca Suiter, second season (69-10-3)
League finish: First in Southeastern Conference Red
Championship history: Has never played in an MHSAA Final.

Outlook: Saline is making its first trip the Semifinals, its only losses this season to No. 1 Farmington Hills Mercy, No. 8 Allen Park and Division 2 No. 9 Carleton Airport and with two of those coming during the team’s first six games. The Hornets made their historic jump with a Quarterfinal win over No. 9 Brownstown Woodhaven. Hastings made the all-state first team last season as a catcher and is one of only four seniors on the roster. Another, Ashley Malinczak, is among the team’s top-hitting regulars at .408 with 44 runs scored, and four more starters and a top sub hit at least .370. Curtis has thrown nearly half the team’s innings, but with support from juniors Zosia Mazur (10-0, 1.22 ERA) and Jessica Phelps (6-1, 2.14) among others.
SOUTH LYON
Record/rank: 31-7, unranked
Coach: Jerry Shippe, first season (31-7)

Seven starters are back from last season’s Semifinal lineup, senior left fielder Avery Bourlier (.396, 36 R, 18 SB) among them, and freshman first baseman/center fielder Rylee Miller (.402, 44 R, 25 SB) leads off a lineup filled with several other strong hitters.

Outlook: Ford is returning to the Semifinals for the first time since 2014 and riding a streak of three straight shutouts. A run of 15 wins over the Falcons’ last 17 games also included victories over Hudsonville and Division 1 honorable mention Macomb Dakota. Five players have scored at least 32 runs this season, and five have driven in at least 32. Senior catcher Sam Norrito is among other big hitters averaging .358 with 32 runs scored, 32 RBI and 11 stolen bases. Williams’ 24 doubles heading into this week qualify for the MHSAA record book.
Division 2

Outlook: Airport has won two straight Regional titles and upped its win total three straight seasons as it makes its first trip to the Semifinals since 2015. The Jets closed the regular season with a win over Division 1 No. 8 Allen Park and downed Division 2 No. 4 Dearborn Divine Child in the Quarterfinal to advance to this weekend. Tilley made the all-state first team last season and is one of five Airport players with double-digit doubles this spring. Another is junior catcher Peyton Zajac, who brought a .360 average into this week. Junior Alayna McDaniel (12-5, 3.26 ERA, 79 K/101 IP) has split the pitching almost evenly with Martin and is expected to get the Semifinal start.
ESCANABA
Record/rank: 38-4, No. 1
Coach: Andy Fields, fifth season (153-33-1)
League finish: First in Great Northern Conference
Championship history: Division 2 champion 2019 and 2018, Division 1 runner-up 2003.
Players to watch: Grayson LaMarche, sr. P; Katey Lamb, sr. 3B. (Statistics not submitted.)
Outlook: A 10-0 win over No. 3 Gaylord in the Regional Final ended the Blue Devils’ two-year reign in Division 2, and Escanaba went on to defeat No. 2 Hudsonville Unity Christian 3-0 in eight innings in their Quarterfinal. Escanaba had been eliminated by Gaylord the last two seasons after most recently making the Semifinals in 2022. LaMarche and Lamb both made the all-state first team last season.
PAW PAW
Record/rank: 36-3, honorable mention
Coach: Mike Mottl, third season (74-35)
League finish: First in Wolverine Conference
Championship history: Has never played in an MHSAA Final.

Outlook: Paw Paw is making its first trip to the Semifinals thanks to wins over honorable mentions Wayland and Coldwater over the last two rounds – and with a roster of all juniors and sophomores. The Red Wolves have jumped 16 wins from last season and have five regulars hitting at least .434; Bella Clemons (.435, 43 R, 17 SB) and Stella Shaefer (.434, 51 R, 18 SB) join the three mentioned above. Clemons (13-3, 2.79 ERA, 79 K/82 2/3 IP) and Lauren MacKellar (13-0, 0.69 ERA, 114 K/81 2/3 IP) have handled most of the pitching, with MacKellar expected to make the Semifinal start.
RICHMOND
Record/rank: 30-7, No. 7
Coach: Howard Stuart, 47th season (1,181-344)
League finish: First in Blue Water Area Conference
Championship history: Two MHSAA titles (most recent 2021), four runner-up finishes.
Players to watch: Ashley Stafford, sr. C/IF (.420, 10 2B, 32 RBI); Katie Shuboy, sr. P/IF (.348, 19-1 pitching, 0.28 ERA, 250 K/125 IP); Audrina Nader, jr. OF (.352, 25 R).
Outlook: Richmond returned all-state first-teamers Shuboy and Stafford from a year ago and is back at the Semifinals for the second time in three seasons. Stuart ranks sixth on the MHSAA softball coaching wins list, with this the Blue Devils’ 12th Semifinals trip under his leadership. Freshman infielder Kendall Nader has moved into the leadoff spot and created a spark, hitting .414, and four more regulars are hitting at least .350 led by junior Emma Bambrick at .365. Senior Lilly Peitz also has seen a significant share of the pitching with a 10-4 record, 2.88 ERA and 75 strikeouts over 90 innings pitched.
Division 3
ALGONAC
Record/rank: 24-14-1, unranked
Coach: Natalie Heim, third season (84-31-1)
League finish: Second in BWAC
Championship history: Has never played in an MHSAA Final.
Players to watch: Jaycee Reams, sr. P/UTY (.424, 33 R, 12 2B, 33 RBI, 13 SB, 17-8 pitching, 3.50 ERA, 187 K/154 IP); Michael Kenel, jr. 2B/SS (.403, 10 SB); Morgan Reams, jr. 1B/P (.368, 25 RBI, 7-6 pitching, 74 K/89 2/3 IP).
Outlook: Algonac is coming off its third Regional title over the last four seasons and made the Semifinals most recently in 2023, and have returned quickly despite graduating all-state pitcher Kenna Bommarito a year ago. The Muskrats advanced with an 8-6 Quarterfinal win over No. 7 Millington, and they’re on a 10-1 run with a loss to Richmond the only defeat during that time. There are contributors throughout the lineup, with seven players having scored between 22-33 runs entering this week. Junior catcher Ava Murray is second on the team driving them in with 27 RBI to go with a .333 average.
CLARE
Record/rank: 38-2, No. 1
Coach: Shane Kelly, fourth season (124-31-2)
League finish: First in Jack Pine Conference
Championship history: Has never played in an MHSAA Final.
Players to watch: Madison Jones, sr. P (.487, 22 2B, 51 RBI, 17-2 pitching, 2.03 ERA, 114 K in 93 1/3 IP); Tessa Kelly, sr. IF (.499, 53 R, 14 2B, 65 RBI, 10 SB); Alissa Brandon, sr. IF (.473, 66 R, 19 2B, 47 RBI, 14 SB).
Outlook: Clare is making its first trip to the Semifinals since 1986, with a 1-0 Quarterfinal win over No. 2 Gladstone further cementing the Pioneers’ status as favorites. Clare also defeated honorable mention Standish-Sterling during this playoff run and has 24 wins shortened by run differential this spring. Jones made the all-state first team and Kelly earned honorable mention a year ago. Junior pitcher Kyley Wyman (20-0, 1.03 ERA, 230 K/115 2/3) will take a perfect record into the circle to start the Semifinal, and Addison McMillan is also well over .400 at the plate as well, hitting .447 with 62 runs scored, 13 doubles, 38 RBI and 25 steals. The team is hitting a combined .422, which would tie for 20th-highest for a single season in MHSAA history.
GRASS LAKE
Record/rank: 38-4, No. 6
Coach: Roger Cook, 24th season (588-220)
League finish: First in Cascades Conference
Championship history: Has never played in an MHSAA Final.
Players to watch: Emily Brown, sr. CF (.629, 92 R, 14 2B, 54 RBI, 23 SB); Makenzie Hilberer, soph. SS (.573, 49 R, 47 RBI, 23 SB, 9-2 pitching, 2.77 ERA); Morgan Conrad, jr. P (.479, 26-0, 1.21 ERA, 143 K/132 2/3 IP).
Outlook: Grass Lake won its third Regional title and this time has advanced to its first Semifinals, getting past No. 5 Laingsburg and honorable mentions Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central and Brooklyn Columbia Central over the last two weeks. Grass Lake’s offense is potent once again with a team batting average of .456, and its 93 doubles entering this week are tied for 23rd most for one season in MHSAA history. Three more starters are hitting at least .400 – senior Bree Salts (.535, 22 2B, 10 HR, 89 RBI) and juniors Leilah Smith (.500 (59 R, 14 2B, 48 RBI) and Addalyn Hensen (.406, 48 R, 15 SB). Salts’ RBI rank 10th for one season on the all-time record list.
RAVENNA
Record/rank: 34-4, No. 4
Coach: Dave Sherman, ninth season (208-80)
League finish: First in West Michigan Conference Rivers
Championship history: Has never played in an MHSAA Final.
Players to watch: Emma Herremans, sr. 3B (.552, 50 R, 12 2B, 58 RBI, 10 SB); Emily Postema, jr. C (.517, 62 R, 13 2B, 57 RBI, 28 SB); Addison Gillard, sr. P/1B (.425, 10 2B, 38 RBI, 18-3 pitching, 1.72 ERA, 143 K/102 IP).
Outlook: Ravenna is making its second trip to the Semifinals in three seasons and after also reaching the Quarterfinals a year ago. Herremans made the all-state first team last season and is all over the MHSAA record book already, and Gillard earned all-state honorable mention in 2024 and is part of a dominating pair in the circle with Natalie Rosel (15-1, 1.21 ERA, 179 K/98 IP). Ravenna is hitting .430 as a team, with sophomores Reese Herremans (.466, 58 R, 14 2B, 53 RBI, 30 SB), Rosel (.453, 51 R, 30 SB) and Sydney Morrissey (.413, 30 R) also above .400.
Division 4
HILLMAN
Record/rank: 32-7, No. 7
Coach: Jason Weiland, second season (72-11)
League finish: First in North Star League
Championship history: Class D runner-up 1996.
Players to watch: Aubrey Weiland, soph. SS/P (.432, 59 R, 16 2B, 9-6 pitching, 3.01 ERA, 78 K/67 1/3 IP); Madelyn Oswald, soph. C (.534, 33 R, 11 SB); Gretchen Weiland, jr. P (.523, 57 R, 17 2B, 56 RBI, 22-1 pitching, 0.86 ERA, 223 K/120 2/3 IP).
Outlook: Jason Weiland will be bringing his team back to the Semifinals for the second time in his two seasons and after Aubrey and Gretchen Weiland and Oswald made the all-state first team last season. Six starters total are back from last year’s Semifinals lineup, with senior outfielder Hannah Crane (.435, 63 R, 15 SB) and senior third baseman Autumn Lis (.438, 36 R, 59 RBI) also among the team’s leading hitters and sophomore second baseman Rylee Lis newer to the lineup (.487, 36 R, 12 2B, 32 RBI) and also nearing .500 for the season. Hillman has won 10 of its last 11 games, with a 5-3 District Final victory over Johannesburg-Lewiston avenging a regular-season sweep by the honorable mention Cardinals.
MENDON
Record/rank: 33-2, No. 3
Co-coaches: Steve Butler & Mike Smith, eighth seasons (205-48)
League finish: First in Southern Central Athletic Association
Championship history: Division 4 runner-up 2023, Class D runner-up 1992.
Players to watch: Cienna Nightingale, jr. 1B/C (.567, 39 R, 18 2B, 45 RBI), Rowan Allen, jr. P/LF (.543, 49 R, 14 2B, 49 RBI, 21 SB, 13-2 pitching, 1.75 ERA, 157 K/87 2/3 IP); Jadyn Samson, jr. SS (.408, 56 R, 14 2B, 50 RBI).
Outlook: After two straight close calls against Unionville-Sebewaing – one-run losses in last year’s Semifinal and the 2023 championship game – Mendon may be on the verge of emerging with its first title. All nine hitting starters plus the designated player from last season’s 6-5 defeat are back this weekend. Nightingale, Allen and Samson all made the all-state first team last season, and senior second baseman/pitcher Ally Butler (.458, 45 R, 11 2B, 40 RBI, 14-0 pitching, 1.07 ERA, 91/K/65 IP) earned honorable mention. Junior Gracie Schultz (.519, 10 SB) and seniors Kaidee Gonser (.457, 40 RBI) and Elise Allen (.451, 36 R, 40 RBI) also are among top hitters as the team averages a combined .458.
SAGINAW MICHIGAN LUTHERAN SEMINARY
Record/rank: 32-10, unranked
Coach: Seth LaBair, 10th season (141-156)
League finish: Tied for second in Tri-Valley Conference Blue
Championship history: Has never played in an MHSAA Final.
Players to watch: Kerin Gardner, fr. 3B/P/SS (.496, 73 R, 37 RBI, 42 SB, 9-3 pitching, 3.42 ERA, 95 K/69 2/3 IP); Charli Alcorn, fr. SS/C (.447, 46 R, 13 2B, 51 RBI, 13 SB); Ally Coffey, sr. P/SS (.597, 44 R, 20 2B, 60 RBI, 19-7 pitching, 1.76 ERA, 250 K/147 1/3 IP).
Outlook: Despite some middling years from an overall record standpoint, MLS has won District titles five of nine seasons under LaBair and jumped from 20-21 a year ago to its first trip to the Semifinals. The Cardinals defeated No. 10 Fowler in the Regional Final and No. 5 Holton in the Quarterfinal to earn this opportunity – and total have won 16 of their last 18 games. They have done so with six senior starters in the hitting lineup but also a pair of freshmen playing major roles. Senior Addison Whitmer is another top contributor hitting .347 with 30 runs scored entering this week.
UNIONVILLE-SEBEWAING
Record/rank: 19-15, No. 1
Coach: Marc Reinhardt, third season (83-36)
League finish: Third in Big Thumb Conference White
Championship history: 10 MHSAA titles (most recent 2023), three runner-up finishes.
Players to watch: Erin Jubar, jr. 3B (.423, 40 R, 13 2B, 10 SB); Kate Beagle, jr. 2B (.379, 39 R, 11 2B, 14 SB), Olivia Green, jr. P (.368, 12 2B, 48 RBI, 12-3 pitching, 1.44 ERA, 191 K/117 IP).
Outlook: As noted above, USA is seeking to add the outright record for longest championship streak to records already for numbers of Finals appearances (13) and championships (10). The Patriots are in pursuit with just four seniors total and two in the anticipated Semifinals lineup, and coming off a run that not only saw a win over No. 8 Plymouth Christian Academy in the Quarterfinal but regular-season games against several top teams in Divisions 1, 2 and 3 including Division 2 No. 3 Gaylord and Division 3 No. 2 Gladstone. Senior Natalie Degroat (.360, 13 2B) and junior Macy Prime (.350 (26 RBI) are two more key offensive contributors.
