Lapeer East's Mike Carson has a good night at the plate and field at All-Star game

A Lapeer East baseball player, Mike Carson, represented himself and his school in an outstanding manner at the Michigan High School Baseball Coaches Association All Star Hall-of-Fame banquet and game on Monday and Tuesday, June 15-16.

On Tuesday night, Lapeer East standout pitcher and shortstop, Mike Carson, took the field as a member of the 2009 East All-Star squad. During the game Carson pitched one inning, played shortstop, right field and left field for the East All-Stars who lost the game.

At the plate Carson had a double in two trips to the plate, had a run batted in and scored a run. In one of the later innings, while Carson was playing shortstop he had to run down a fly ball hit near the foul line in left field.

In his four-year varsity baseball career at East, Carson batted .505 and .531 in his senior year. He was first-team All Flint Metro League infielder. He has accepted a scholarship to play for Oakland University.
