College baseball is returning to ForeFront Field.
On March 6, the Lake Erie Crushers announced they will once again host the MAC baseball tournament.
From May 20-24, the MAC tournament will feature six teams. The MAC champion will have an automatic bid to the Division I NCAA Tournament.
Last year, Miami (Ohio) took home the MAC championship, defeating Toledo, 6-3, at ForeFront Field.
Returning for Toledo is Avon grad Troy Sudbrook. Sudbrook was one of two Rockets to play in every game last year, hitting .297, with seven home runs and 50 RBI (18th most in the MAC).
His younger brother and former Eagle Ryan Sudbrook is beginning his freshman season.
