Performance of the Week: Flint Powers Catholic's Isaac Sturgess
May 31, 2024
Isaac Sturgess ♦ Flint Powers Catholic
Senior ♦ Baseball
Sturgess hit a three-run home run and threw two hitless innings – getting all six outs by strikeout – to pick up the save as Division 2 top-ranked Powers came back from five runs down Monday to defeat Goodrich 6-5 and win the Greater Flint Baseball Tournament.
That championship closed a memorable finish to the regular season for the Chargers (30-6), as a week earlier they swept Midland Dow to clinch the Saginaw Valley League title for the first time, with Sturgess setting his school’s career hits record that evening. A two-time Division 2 all-state first-team selection – and all-state Dream Teamer as a junior outfielder – Sturgess will continue his career at Michigan State University.
