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: Baseball Pitch Count

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 Pitch Count - Listen

Do you know the pitch count limits for high school baseball in Michigan?

  • If a pitcher throws 25 pitches or less, he can throw again the next day with no rest.
  • If 26 to 50 pitches are thrown, one day of rest is required.
  • 51 to 75 pitches require two days of rest.
  • And throwing 76 or more pitches requires three days of rest.

The maximum pitch count for one day is 105 pitches. But if pitch number 105 occurs during the middle of an at-bat, the pitcher can finish that at-bat, but then must be taken out.

Teams are required to track all pitch counts and indicate before a game who is ineligible to pitch that day.

In the postseason, a neutral person tracks the pitch count. If a violation occurs, the pitcher becomes ineligible, and his team forfeits the game he pitched in.
