Great call

I have to admit, I was a little skeptical when the Diamond Classic decided to schedule two games on Friday of Memorial Day weekend.

I was way off. It was a great idea.

I know part of it was the Fowlerville and East Lansing fans filing in as the Grand Ledge/Holt game was coming to an end. But for a while, Cooley Law School Stadium had a solid crowd. And even before that, the Grand Ledge side was mostly full.

Perhaps with nowhere to be Saturday, that got more people out. It was also a perfect evening from a weather standpoint. Either way, it was a better scene than the typical Thursday night crowd. I'd definitely like to see it continued next year if Lugnuts scheduling permits.
