Hartland Eagles Baseball

HARTLAND – Marcus Ziebold continued his hot hitting, driving what turned out to be the winning run with one of his two doubles in the fourth inning as the Hartland baseball team downed Waterford Kettering 8-3 on Monday. The win kept the Eagles (11-2 overall, 7-0 KLAA West) atop the division standings. “I was happy we were able to play,” Hartland coach Brian Morrison said. “For us to get it in and get through the weather makes it a little less cold when you win.” The Eagles took the lead when Brent Diamond led off the fourth with a single and scored on Ziebold’s double with two outs. Hartland added four more runs in the eighth. Justin Smith, who entered the game in the fifth, pitched out of a jam created by a pair of Eagles errors in the fifth and shut down Kettering the rest of the way. “We were sloppy a little bit today,” Morrison said. “Our approach early in the game wasn’t where I’d like it to be, but we were able to put a few things together and pull out the win. I think it was a learning experience for how we have to approach every game.” The Eagles will take on Brighton Wednesday in a game that could go a long way to determining the division title. “We’ve got a long way to go,” Morrison said. “We’re trying to take every game one a time, to try and get better and see where the season takes us.” http://www.livingstondaily.com/article/20140429/SPORTS/304290004/Eagles-baseball-pulls-out-win

Adrian Tournament

ADRIAN – Hartland won both games easily, downing Clinton 16-6 in the semifinal and beating host

Adrian 14-3 in the final.The Eagles (10-4) put Clinton away with a 9-run second inning, and dashed

Adrian’s hopes with seven runs in the seventh.

Marcus Ziebold was the tournament’s most valuable player (MVP), banging out four hits, three for extra

bases, and driving in four runs.

“We had a nice long bus ride there and a team dinner afterward,” Hartland coach Brian Morrison said.

“It’s a nice bonding day for us. We had some defensive lapses, and we could have been better on the

 mound, but in big situations, guys got us out of jams and allowed us to extend some leads.”
