The Brighton Bulldogs beat the Northville Mustangs 3-1 to snag their seat in the Michigan High School Athletic Association regional championship game.

VIDEO: Aretha Franklin Sings National Anthem at Tigers Playoff Game
The Detroit Tigers win 5-2 against the Texas Rangers Tuesday night in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series.
Just when it seemed like it might be the end of the road for the Detroit Tigers after two consecutive losses to the Texas Rangers on the road, the Tigers – who faced elimination from the American League Championship Series (ALCS) if they lost one more game – ensured they'd stay in the playoffs for at least one more day with a 5-2 win against the Rangers.

Tigers and Baseball Belong to All of Us
As postseason gets under way for Detroit team, memories take center stage.
It’s just plain different. Period. Baseball is sacred to Americans. It’s our game, it’s marked the passage of time for more than a century, and it, unlike any other game, unifies us all. Our grandfathers talked of the game’s greats of their era, as did our fathers to us, as we do to our kids, and as they will to theirs—each generation comparing statistics, impact and status of their favorite players and teams. DiMaggio and Williams, Mantle and Mays, Ryan and Clemens, Pujols and Jeter — each name highlighting endless conversations between generations of baseball fans. Who is better? Where do they fit in list of all-time greats? What if Williams played today, or Pujols played then? Baseball is a common thread woven through the tapestry of …

My Dad Pitches for the Angels
This Father's Day, I'll think of my dad as brightly as the day he left for his 10-year road trip with the angels.
My dad has pitched for the angels for 10 years. The games aren’t televised in Detroit and they can’t be found on MLB.com. Team jerseys are currently unavailable, we’re not in the same time zone and I’ve yet to see his team featured on SportsCenter. And although we can’t get mobile updates on our phones, I can imagine he’s pitching out of his mind. He’s dazzling batters one after the next with his floating knuckleballs and intermittent fastballs, “just to keep them on their toes,” he’d say. And as they walked back to the dugout scratching their heads he would watch them, daring them to look back so they could see him smile. He’s on a long road trip now and I miss him. And no, he’s not in Anaheim. My dad plays for the …
