In the game of baseball, it is often the case that the little things mean the difference between winning and losing. Such was the case on Friday night as an improved Westwood baseball team lost their season opener to Grundy County 10 to 2 at Fred Deadman Park. A 5 run Yellow Jackets rally in the 3rd inning proved to be the back breaker as Grundy County strung together 6 hits and took advantage of some key defensive lapses from the Rockets. “We are still making too many little mistakes to win games” first year coach Josh Morris told...

Pete Weber’s Postgame Report http://www.thunder1320.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Preds-Report-3-4-16.mp3 Mike Fisher’s 1,000th NHL game didn’t produce a win for the Nashville Predators, but his club still set a franchise record in the contest.

The Predators are 7-0-4 during the streak. “It’s been a great stretch,” Fisher said. “It’s disappointing tonight to lose that way.
