Longing For The Long Ball

An OC Power Surge will be in full effect this week.

Half of the sluggers at the inaugural Muscle Milk state home run derby will be from the Oakland County prep baseball ranks.

Of the 12 participants, six spawn from area schools.

Alright, let's roll call it;

Dazon Cole (West Bloomfield) – They call this kid D-CRUSH, I think that's all you really need to know….The ATL Braves came calling for a reason!!

Ty Kiafoullis (Birmingham Brother Rice) – "King Kong" Kiafoulis is about to go all KING KONG KIAFOULIS when derby time comes around....TAKE IT 2 THA BANK!!

Randy Righter (Birmingham Brother Rice) – This ORANGE&BLACK playmaker extraordinaire has a swing that's so sweet, I call it the "SugarShack Stroke"

Will Salter (OL St. Mary's) – About to UNLEASH THE FURY with his stick, exactly as the pedigree would indicate..…'NUFF SAID!!

Brennan Williams (WL Northern) – You might as well call this KLAA "Hack Master General" Jonah Hill, because he's SUPERBAD on the diamond

Luke Shilling (Pontiac NDP) – Talk about packing a wallop with the proverbial lumber, just look my Fighting Irish homeboy L-SIZZLE's way and you won't be disappointed….that's a CERTIFIED BURNEY GUARANTEE!!

The first annual Muscle Milk HR derby will take place Thursday at Wayne State and is slated to be hosted by Detroit Tigers second baseman Ian Kinsler
