Lansing Community College Baseball

From 2–9 to one of the hottest teams in the country, this group refused to fold, battling through a flooded field twice, long road stretches, indoor practices when the weather said otherwise, and injuries that tested everything, and still found a way to go 32–13 the rest of the way while winning 16 of the last 18 to earn the #25 spot in the NJCAA national rankings, and now the opportunity is right here at Muni as we host a regional playoff series for the third time in five seasons starting Thursday at 1:00 PM against Henry Ford College in a best of three with a trip to the Super Regionals on the line.

The Stars closed out MCCAA conference play yesterday with a doubleheader sweep over Ancilla, winning game one 14-2 behind Ryan Louch’s five RBIs including a three-run homer, a strong outing from Josh Gardner, and multi-hit days from Jack Coluzzi, JT Youngblood, and Jake Norton while creating pressure with six stolen bases, then followed it up with an 18-0 win in game two as Parker Vaughn put together a dominant performance going 4-for-4 with six RBIs and a home run, Coluzzi matched him with four hits including a homer, the offense exploded for 11 runs in the first inning, and Matthew Whiteman set the tone on the mound with scoreless work while the bullpen of Wade Sommers and Tyler Young finished it clean, as the Stars piled up 29 hits on the day and finished conference play with momentum heading into playoffs. We head to Grand Rapids tomorrow to finish the regular season against the Raiders with a single 9-inning game, starting at 2:00 PM. Then on to Regionals!
