Camaraderie is the secret behind the South Lyon baseball team's resurgence this spring.
That was evident when first-year coach Erich Stephenson cracked an immediate smile after peering over his shoulder to see his players huddling up for a team photo following the Lions' 6-1 victory over West Bloomfield during Sunday's showcase game held at Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers.
And it was even more evident when their entire dugout raced onto the field to gang tackle Nicholas Stoyanovich, which included dousing him with a water bottle, after the junior dove into home plate to beat a throw from deep left-center to score the winning runs on an inside-the-park home run in the third inning.
