Lenda and Glenda Hill Stadium and TFO Partners Field will be busy this summer, as the Hillsdale College baseball facility will be the home site for a summer wood bat league team in June and July.

The Michigan Monarchs of the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League will call Hillsdale home, playing 22 games at Lenda and Glenda Hill Stadium and TFO Partners Field over the next two months, starting with a 4:35 PM contest against the Flag City Sluggers this Sunday, June 8.

The GLSCL is one of the oldest summer collegiate leagues in the United States, having been in operation annually since 1987 and operating with teams in Michigan and Ohio. Teams are made up of NCAA Division I and II college athletes who join the squads over the summer after the conclusion of their playing seasons. Top-end talent plays in the GLSCL, as 100 future MLB players have appeared in the league over its history, and the league averages 25 MLB draftees or signees among its alumni every year.

The Monarchs roster this summer will include Division I baseball players from Michigan State, Ohio State, Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan, Oakland, Toledo, Illinois-Chicago and Cal St. Northridge, as well as Hillsdale College pitcher Andrew George and several Division II, Division III and Junior College players. The team will be coached by Hillsdale College alumnus and current baseball assistant coach Cody Kanclerz.
