Blogs > Burney's Bytes

Burney's Bytes will focus primarily on the local preps sports scene, but will also touch on some college and pro athletics, mostly in regards to athletes who hail and have played high school sports in Oakland County. My goal for the blog is to be conversational and anecdotal, a more relaxed and free formal take on high school athletics than you see in regular game day coverage.

Instant Feedback - Diamond Talk

SOME THOUGHTS FROM TUESDAY'S ACTION ON THE DIAMOND
WL Central bounced back big from a loss on Monday by trouncing defending state champion, Warren De La Salle 22-6 on Tuesday. "Jolt'n Joe" Harris belted two homers and collected a total of seven RBI to highlight the Vikings attack. Super props go out to "Jolt'n Joe" for doing his best Di Maggio in the Central 'W'. WATCH OUT KLAA, JAKE "THE SNAKE" PAULSON IS JUST WARMING UP THROWING THAT PILL. CAN U SAY LEAGUE LEADER IN K'S BY YEAR'S END!
Pontiac NDP might have started the season slow, but Dan Owenby made sure that the Fighting Irish racked up a couple wins on Tuesday, destroying opposing pitching in a doubleheader sweep of MC Cardinal Mooney. "The Big O" swatted two home runs and compiled a total of six RBI in the twinbill. Wow is Western Illinois getting itself a heck of a ballplayer!!!! and one more thing, GET BUSY MY PRIMETIME HOMEBOYS, TOMMY CONSTAND AND JOEY DE MARTIS!
The Globke brothers got MAD NICE in Southfield Christian's 6-2 defeat of GP University Liggett, showing the host-Knights that two these two siblings pack quite a powerful punch, both individually and in tandem. Older bro, Ben, blasted a home run and had two base-knocks and younger bro, Alex, busted out three hits and a pair of RBI as well in leading the Eagles to its fifth win of the year.
Quick Thought - The Eagles' senior spinmaster Andy Hoffenbacher is CRAZY UNDERRATED!!!
On the subject of MIAC diamond powers, RH Lutheran Northwest upped its record to 8-3 on Tuesday night with an 8-3 dusting of AP Inter-City Baptist. Senior Steve Miscovich cracked a humdinger of a 3-run home run in the sixth inning that put the game out of reach. Lutheran Northwest will battle it out with Southfield Christian, Liggett, and Lutheran Westland for conference championship honors.
From action on the softball diamond, Clawson's Lisa Shumaker continued her stat-gobbling campaign, striking out 14 from the pitching mound and slapping four hits in the Trojans, 11-6, come from victory over Detroit Renaissance.
