For those of you that don't know. I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic. Ever since I've left the hospital I've had blood treatments 3 times a week at 6 am til 10 pm.
Today I got the call I'm healthy enough to stop those treatments!
I feel for the fans on this. Growing up in Central Nebraska. The state tournament was a vacation. You didn't leave and make it by game time. You were here the night before. Or showed up hours before your team played. This could have been announced days ago
🚨🚨🚨 Congrats Dominick Mersch!
Didn't get his due last night, but... his first of the season...
his first as a Badger!
Roman Ahcan shot went off Mersch so switch of first career goals.

A visiting-team player places his stick on the ice first for the face-off at center ice. For all other face-offs, a defending team player must place his stick down first. Once they establish position at a face-off, players must hold that position until the puck is dropped.
The former

have now homered four times in the top of the 4th inning. 3 consecutive home runs, a single by Bliemeister and finished by a Pace 2-run shot. The Spartans call their lineup the bomb squad for a reason. 11-5 East over Millard North still top 4.
