The Michigan All‑Star Baseball Game pitted the Macomb Area Conference against the Oakland Activities Association in a contest that ended 8‑5 in favor of the MAC, and the MVP award went to senior McCallister Doelle of Rochester Adams.
A Star‑Studded All‑Star Showcase
Doelle, who has signed to play at Henry Ford College, went 2‑for‑3 at the plate and drove in several key runs, highlighted by a double that scored Ryan Wilusz to push the lead to 7‑1 in the fourth inning.
The game featured a six‑run fourth inning that effectively sealed the win, and contributions from teammates such as Trevor Lipscomb of Grosse Pointe North, who delivered a two‑run single to cut the deficit to 7‑3, and Nick Kaminsko of Romeo, who tied the game at 1 earlier in the frame.
Doelle’s performance marked a fitting conclusion to a high school career that included a run to the state championship game, where his team fell to Novi Detroit Catholic Central in a 7‑0 loss, but the all‑star showcase offered a positive send‑off.
Beyond the MVP, Doelle will follow in the footsteps of his older brother Brady, who previously played at Henry Ford College before moving to Lawrence Technological University, continuing a family tradition in the program.
The broader landscape of Michigan high school baseball saw Novi Detroit Catholic Central capture the state title earlier, and the All‑Star game served as a showcase of the talent that will shape the next season.
