Sebewaing brothers are ‘vintage’ in win
MAYVILLE — Sebewaing brothers Matt Rocha and Mark Rocha led the Mighty River Hogs of Midland to a 9-3 win over Mayville State Bank in a vintage baseball game on July 18. The contest, waged at Mayville’s Ohmer Park before about 100 fans during the Mayville Sunflower Festival, was played under 1860s “base ball” rules – which meant that a fielder could register an out by catching any batted ball after one hop.
Akron, the Las Vegas Bowl, and the Great American West
“Go West, young man, go West and grow up with the country.” That’s what Horace Greeley (or someone else, as many dispute) said about the American West centuries ago. The American West has long been a source of wonder for many Americans. Naturally, this mystique carried into college football. The desire for young men in the Midwest to “go west” is woven into the fabric of college football. For nearly 70 years, the Big Ten sent its champion to the Rose Bowl to play in American sports’ most fabled tradition. This upcoming season, they’ll embrace four programs located on the West Coast into the fold.
