Local Sports: Huron softball advances; VanHuysen qualifies
ROMULUS – New Boston Huron was one of the first softball teams in the state to earn a trip to next week’s Regional tournaments.
Most teams didn’t even get to begin the state tournament until Saturday.
But Huron was on the field for a District Friday night.
The Chiefs were not on the field very long.
They got a bye into the finals when the host team folded its team. Huron took home the trophy with an 11-0 five-inning, mercy-rule victory over Dearborn Heights Annapolis.
“It was one those things where you just get it done and move on,” Huron coach Tedi Belisle said.
Annapolis had no luck against Huron pitcher Rylie Greggo. She allowed just one hit and did not walk a batter while striking out 12.
Jenna Kuzara and Marissa Jackson rang up three hits each to lead the offense while Emma Sic went 2-for-4 and drove in three runs.
Annapolis committed 11 errors.
Huron (21-7) advances to the Regional at Trenton.

VanHuysen makes state
JACKSON – Summerfield took just three golfers to the Division 4 Regional at Ella Sharp Park Friday, so it had no shot at making it to state as a team.

Eli VanHuysen tied for medalist honors with a round of 75, punching his ticket to the finals June 9-10 at Bedford Valley in Battle Creek.
Harris Morlock shot 99 and Avery Redlinger 103 for the Bulldogs.
Hillsdale Academy won the Regional with 318 and Lenawee Christian (343) and Hudson (344) also qualified for state.
