MTU
The Michigan Tech volleyball team opens its season at the Lewis Invitational in Romeoville, Illinois today. Coach Matt Jennings’ squad has been on an upswing, and he says it’s deeper this fall than in years past. “I think there’s a lot of players who can contribute in our system this year,” he said. “It took a little bit longer than we thought to put a starting rotation together in preseason compared to past years, but we look at is as a good thing.” The Huskies will face the host team this afternoon, and then take on Southwest Minnesota State and Central Washington tomorrow.
Finlandia
The Finlandia women’s soccer team plays at Northern Michigan University this evening.
MLB
Tyler Collins’ sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth inning drove home JaCoby Jones with the winning run, as the Detroit Tigers edged the Chicago White Sox 3-2 yesterday afternoon. Justin Verlander turned in seven strong innings for Detroit, giving up just three hits. Two of them were solo home runs on consecutive pitches in the fourth inning – the second by former Tiger Alex Avila. The Tigers got one back in the fifth on an RBI single by Andrew Romine. J.D. Martinez singled home Ian Kinsler in the eighth to tie the game.
The Tigers have today off, and begin a series at Kansas City tomorrow night. Anibal Sanchez will start against Danny Duffy. Hear the first pitch at 8:15 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3, WCCY.
Cleveland also won again, so the Tigers still trail the Indians by four and a half games in the American League Central Division.
The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 last night. All of Milwaukee’s runs came on a Kirk Nieuwenhuis homer in the third inning. Matt Garza threw seven effective innings to get the win.
The Brewers also have today off, and will start a series at Pittsburgh tomorrow night. Junior Guerra will return from the disabled list to pitch against Jameson Taillon.
