If Mother Nature doesn't have other plans, this week will be a smorgasbord of action in Saint Ignatius' spring sports.
Here is the corner's breakdown by sport, which includes a prime-time main course from Progressive Field.
BASEBALL
Tuesday - Coach Brad Ganor's Wildcats, coming off an impressive week that saw them win four out of five games, are scheduled to play their home opener against the always sound Willoughby South Rebels at Classic Park in Eastlake. The first pitch is slated for 4:30 p.m.
Wednesday - The baseball 'Cats return to Classic Park to face rival St. Edward at 4:30. It's the Wildcats and the Eagles. There is no need to say more.
****Friday - Coach Ganor's club will face Avon Lake as part of the annual Cleveland Indians Charities High School Hardball Classic at Progressive Field. The first pitch is scheduled for 8 p.m. On April 23, 2010 the Wildcats and the Shoremen also met in the Hardball Classic at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario, and the 'Cats rode a pitching committee to a 1-0 victory.
Saturday - It's a quick turnaround for the 'Cats as they travel to the friendly confines of Strongsville High School on Saturday morning to face the baseball savvy Mustangs at 10 and the Avon Eagles at 12:30. Avon posted a combined record of 47-6 over 2011 and 2012. Those 47 wins produced consecutive conference titles (West Shore) for the first time in the program's history.
****Note: The golden tones of senior John Fanta and his staff will broadcast all five of this week's baseball games live over the Saint Ignatius Student Broadcasting Network and the corner will provide game coverages.
