MILLINGTON — History was made Saturday as Millington baseball captured the first regional championship in program history, defeating seventh-ranked Grosse Pointe University Liggett 7-2 to advance to the Division 3 state quarterfinals. The Cardinals continued their remarkable postseason run by knocking off another highly regarded opponent.
