No rosters but plenty of intrigue at U-M football spring game

ANN ARBOR — Michi-gan did not provide a roster for its spring game Satur-day and a list of their play-ers with numbers for the 2017 season isn’t on their website.

And coach Jim Har-baugh did not speak to re-porters after the game.

Harbaugh, though, couldn’t hide Brandon Pe-ters from the 57,418 who showed up at the Big House for the intra-squad scrim-mage. The quarterback that created a buzz behind the scenes this spring showed he’s capable of competing for playing time.

Peters threw a 40-yard pass to Nate Schoenle to set up Kyle Seychel’s 31-yard fi eld goal as time expired, lifting the Maize over the Blue 31-29.

After redshirting last season as a freshman, the 6-foot-5 Peters did his best to show he has the potential to push returning starter Wilton Speight in the fall.

“Coach Harbaugh is al-ways making it a competi-tion, so there’s always that chance,” Peters said. “I just go out and compete. Wilton is a really good competitor and he’s really good, too.”

Peters was 9 of 17 for 160 yards with a 55-yard touch-down pass to tight end Zach Gentry and an interception that was returned for a score by Brandon Watson.

Speight, meanwhile, struggled behind a sieve-

like offensive line that couldn’t block players such as Devin Bush and Khaleke Hudson.

Speight was 9 of 26 for 78 yards with two intercep-tions, one of which was re-turned 100 yards by Jordan Glasgow.

“I’d like to have those two throws back because I was trying to force it into a small window and trying to make a play when there probably wasn’t a play to be made,” Speight said. “But

yeah, there were times I had to improvise.”

Here are some other things of note from a warm, windy and sunny day for spring football:

A shutout showing

BENTON TOWNSHIP —  Lake Michigan College softball coach John Jewell was much happier with his team’s

performance on Saturday.

The Red Hawks swept a double-header against

Kellogg Community College on  Saturday, beating the Bru-ins 5-0 and 2-0 after dropping two games at Lansing Com-munity College by a combined 19-0 Friday.

“The effort was excellent today,” said Jewell. “Everyone came out and was pulling for each other. (Friday) we didn’t do so well. We had a little talk and corrected some things. It was just a good team effort.”

LMC  (9-11 MCCAA West, 10-14)  rode its  defense, hav-ing committed only one error total in both  games against Kellogg  (11-9 MCCAA West, 17-17).

“They played really well (de-fensively) today,” said Jewell.

Windy Wrigley not enough for Cubs

CHICAGO (AP) — An-drew McCutchen got to Wrigley Field on Saturday and was happy to see a 24 mph wind.

“You def-initely have quite the advantage when you’re playing in this ball-park when the wind is howl-ing out like that,” he said.

McCutchen hit a go-ahead, three-run home run in a fi ve-run seventh inning that led the Pirates over the Chicago Cubs 8-7.

Pittsburgh has won two straight against the Cubs after going 4-14 against Chicago last season, includ-ing 1-8 at Wrigley.

“We’re just focused on right now,” McCutchen said. “One more win than we had last year. We’re in a good spot.”

Francisco Cervelli, Josh Harrison and Starling Marte also homered for Pittsburgh. Chicago led 6-2 before Marte’s solo drive in the sixth inning off starter Jake Arrieta.

Harrison homered with one out in the seventh against Brian Duensing, and Adam Frazier’s RBI single cut the Pirates’ defi cit to 6-5.

Pedro Strop (0-1) walked Marte, and McCutchen homered into the fi rst row of the left-fi eld bleachers for an 8-6 lead. He has a .315 career average at Wrig-ley.

“We kept battling, scratching and clawing all day, never felt like we were out of it,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.

Kris Bryant cut the defi -cit in the ninth against Tony Watson with his sec-ond home run of the game. Watson struck out Addison Russell with a runner on for his fourth save in as many chances.

“You’ve got to play the elements here,” Bryant said. “When it’s cold and windy blowing in, you’ve got to scratch across a run. Today, obviously the fi rst inning was great, but you never

Bulls out to spoil Celtics’ plans

BOSTON — The Celt-ics’ 17 NBA championship banners hang as daily re-minders of the watermark for a successful season.

So as much as fourth-year coach Brad Stevens would like to pat his team on the back for claiming the East-ern Conference’s top seed, the chase for an 18th ban-ner is all the focus he needs as his team prepares to open the fi rst round against the eighth-seeded Chicago Bulls.

The teams split their four regular-season matchups, with each winning two games on their home fl oor.

Now there’s also a fresh batch of expectation being heaped on Boston, after fi nishing with the East’s best record for the fi rst time since winning their last title in 2008.

“It’s not always easy throughout an 82-game schedule to be at your very best, but these guys are very consistent,” Stevens said. “So that’s a real positive. But we’ll talk about what was accomplished later.”

The Celtics have lost in the fi rst round each of the last two seasons, including a 4-2 loss to Atlanta last season. Now they’re hop-ing one of their biggest tor-menters in that series, off-season pickup Al Horford, will be the piece needed to trigger a deep run.

Horford said one of main reasons he chose Boston was a chance to play along-side All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas. Though in-juries limited their develop-ment together on the court at times, having Horford in the middle has clearly el-evated Thomas’ game this season. His 28.9 points av-erage this season tied John Havlicek (1970-71) for sec-ond place on the Celtics’ franchise leader board.

“We’re a little more con-fi dent, we are the No. 1 seed,” Thomas said. “We’ve got home-court advantage, we’ve just got to protect it.

“That’s what kept us in the ballgame. The pitching was excellent as well. Kar-lee (Liles) came back, she didn’t pitch so well Friday, but she came back strong and pitched four shutout innings for us today.”

In the first game, Lake Michigan College’s Jade Mosier scored three runs for the Red Hawks after reaching base on three of four at-bats.

The Red Hawks jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning on RBI singles from Erica Zandarski and Ma-rissa Dodd. 

In the third frame, Mosi-er scored another run after back-to-back Bruin errors.

Anna Riggenbach scored in the fifth after  a Mosier drive to center forced an-other Bruin error. An-gie White then singled  to plate  Mosier for a third time. 

In the second game, Kar-lee Liles pitched four score-less innings for the Red Hawks, allowing only two hits in four innings of work.

In the fourth inning, after Mosier hit into a fielder’s choice, McKinzie Kiggins doubled over the left field-er’s head, bringing Mosier over to third. White then singled for the game’s first run.

Riggenbach took to the circle  in the fifth, striking out the side in the top half of the frame and bringing Lake Michigan College back to the plate.

In the bottom half of the frame, Dodd scored on a Riggenbach sacrifice fly to deep center.

Riggenbach pitched  in the sixth and seventh to seal the victory for the Red Hawks.

Riggenback retired the first seven batters she faced, striking out five. She gave up no hits in three innings of work. Kellogg’s only baserunners came off one walk and one hit batter in

the final frame.“No complaints today,”

said Jewell. “Everybody played their positions like they’re supposed to. We love to see that.”

Kellog’s Alexis Cerven, a Decatur graduate, had two of the Bruins’ three hits for the day.

Lake Michigan College will square off at Kalama-zoo Valley Community College in a doubleheader Tuesday.
