#SocialStudies v12.0

Welcome back, video junkies!
This week, for your viewing pleasure: a collection of baseball clips, plus one very bizarre (but entertaining) mascot race.
1. Crash course
Remember all those times when your coach hollered something about "communication" or "ya'll gotta talk out there?" I think this is the precise situation those statement were designed to prevent. Luckily for these outfielders, it all worked out in the end.
2. Must've been a long road trip
We’re all acutely aware of zany activities that occur in team vans, busses and locker rooms. The Harvard baseball team, apparently, is no exception. Enjoy this extremely macho cover of the Top 40 smash “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen. As of this morning, nearly 2.1 million people have witnessed this greatness.
3. Gold glover
Good to know that this can happen at any age, right? For the record, this feat has only happened fifteen times in Major League Baseball history.
4. Highlanders, Mariners and Bears, oh my!
The Mascot Run has become must-see at the annual Algonac Muskrat Relays. Here's the 2009 version; the latest was run last weekend.
Does your team behave oddly on team trips? Haul the FlipCam out and film it!
We’d love to show it off here on #SocialStudies.

Each contest will be easily identified with a “Best Of 13-14” thumbnail on the home page of the MHSAA.tv Website. Here’s a look at the games which will be featured from July 14-21:
• Temperance Bedford v. Bloomfield Hills Marian: 2013 Class A Girls Volleyball Semifinal. An absolute volleyball classic. Down 23-20 and facing elimination, Marian reeled off the last five points of this game, and led throughout the fifth and deciding game to head into the Finals.
• DeWitt v. St. Clair: 2013 Division 3 Football Semifinal. Ben Heinritz scored twice for DeWitt and the Panthers' defense held on at the end of a 21-20 victory over St. Clair.
• Farmington v. Sault Ste. Marie: 2014 Division 3 Ice Hockey Final. John Lethemon stopped 29 shots and Jason Petrad scored two first period goals to lead Farmington to a 2-1 win over the Blue Devils.
• Grosse Pointe South v. Bay City Western: 2014 Division 1 Baseball Final. Sophomore Jason Clark pitched perfectly for five innings and ended up with a three-hitter in Western’s 6-2 victory over South. Western scored three times in the first inning for all the runs it would need.
