Midland, MI

 

A bittersweet announcement, and part of this news may have already made it's way throughout the softball world, but Grant Patterson, Todd Schultz and Craig Crawford will not be returning to the Explorers in 2009.

 

It's not necessary to list their accomplishments within the sport, as all three are instantly recognizable for what they've done on the field for the Explorers as well as the quality people that they are.  The team wishes all three of them the best of luck in the future.
