The view from this little known spot along the California coast, called Sunset Beach and located 40 minutes north of Monterey, is incredible and one of a kind, but somehow the prairie views and rolling hills of the Midwest have grown on me, too. And the Arch is certainly something to behold.
The MBU baseball team finished up its fall season with a Spartan’s World Series against each other last week. The Spartan baseball team was divided up into two teams, blue and grey, and the Spartans played a five-game series to see who was the better of the two teams.
The MBU Spartans baseball team hosted a blue-out event Friday, April 17, where fans were encouraged to bring couches to receive free food. Many were in attendance and the Spartans split the double-header with the Freed-Hardeman University Lions.
