Warren De La Salle Steals the Show
First up, let’s talk about Warren De La Salle. This team is off to a sensational start, recently completing a sweep against Toledo Catholic Central. The highlight? A *spectacular no-hitter* thrown by senior right-hander Mason Pilarski, who’s committed to play for Western Michigan!

Northville has shown its prowess by sweeping both Okemos and Plymouth this season. Keeping the momentum alive, they are preparing to host Salem for a double-header on Wednesday. Will they continue their winning ways? The anticipation is electric!
Macomb Dakota’s Strong Showing
Not to be outdone, Macomb Dakota knocked down West Bloomfield, Grosse Pointe South, and Troy in a display of solid team effort. While they faced a postponement against Brother Rice, which has now been rescheduled for May 2, they remain a force to be reckoned with.
Novi and Their Thrilling Matchups
Then there’s Novi, who had their double-header against Hartland shifted from Monday to Wednesday thanks to an uncooperative weather forecast. They’ll also be facing Dakota twice on Thursday.
