Baseball Regional Final Preview.

Written Wednesday June 8th at 8:45 PM

Here is my insight heading into the Baseball Regional Final and State Quarterfinals this weekend.

LAKE ORION vs Orchard Lake St. Marys

THOUGHTS/INSIGHT: This might be the Dragons biggest challenge. They are taking on an Eaglets team that is rolling on all cylinders. Orchard Lake St. Marys is the top team in the State and also the nation. They have almost everyone on their team heading to play either in the Major Leagues or Division One College Baseball. The Eaglets won 5-0 over White Lake Lakeland while the Dragons won 11-1 over sixth ranked Adams. Lake Orion is ranked seventh in Division One. If there is a team that could give Orchard Lake St. Marys trouble this is it. The winner will see either Novi Detroit Catholic Central or Hartland in the State Quarterfinals.

GROVES vs Grosse Pointe North

The Falcons have been peaking at the right time in the postseason. Groves won the Troy Athens district last weekend and sent a statement by beating Detroit University-Detroit Jesuit 5-1 in the regional semifinals on Wednesday afternoon. The Norseman is coming off a hard fought 2-1 victory over Warren De LaSalle on Wednesday afternoon in the regional semifinals. The Falcons if things go right has a great chance if they keep playing loose and not get over confident. The winner will see either Chippewa Valley or Detroit Western in the State Quarterfinals.
