1. The Michigan baseball team is one win away from winning the national title.
It was a great team performance all around but it was also due to stellar pitching by former Portage Northern baseball player Tommy Henry.
Henry delivered once again for the Wolverines, pitching 8 1/3 innings in a 7-4 victory over Vanderbilt.
The Wolverines lead the best-of-3 series 1-0, with Game 2 scheduled for 7 p.m. on ESPN.

4. It's a rescue that likely saved hundreds of Rabbits' lives in Muskegon County.
A total of 156 were rescued from a horrific situation. Area organizations helped rescue them and now Pound Buddies and the Humane Society are working to find them their forever homes.
The Humane Society says it has about 30 of them that will soon be up for adoption while many of the others are now in foster care.
For those who can't adopt, they can help by donating items like newspaper, water bottles and large crates to Pound Buddies.
