The Michigan Tech hockey team has signed up another Pietila. Former Hartland High School defenseman Jed Pietila will join the Huskies next fall.

MLB

The latest proposal for salvaging the baseball season would abandon the traditional American and National League split, and divide teams into three divisions. One would be based exclusively at spring training camps in Florida… one exclusively in Arizona… and one would play games in both states. Games could be moved to the teams’ home stadiums if COVID-19 requirements are relaxed. There’s still no potential date for the start of Major League play.
