- NO sharing of any equipment (bats, gloves, protective gear, etc.)
- If you are not feeling well (fever, sore throat, cough, difficulty breathing) stay home.
- If you have been exposed to somebody with Covid-19 stay home.
- NO seeds, gum or spitting while at practice.

- Avoid touching your face, mouth or eyes during the practice.
- Bring your own water bottle labeled with your name and keep it with your gear.
We say goodbye to a longtime friend
We have some very sad news to share about one of our very own. Michael Guenther passed away suddenly on Sunday, February 16, 2020.
Michael graduated from Saline High School in 1974 and was employed by Saline Area Schools for over 20 years.He also was the Head Coach of one of the best travel baseball teams in Saline history, the Saline Yellowjackets. He was very well-known as a great baseball umpire all over the state of Michigan and touched the lives of many players and coaches throughout the state. He loved making an impact on the youth.
In lieu of flowers, the family have suggested donations to be made to Saline Area Youth Baseball & Softball in honor of their father
Please keep the Guenther family in your thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
