The Michigan Softball Academy's seventh edition was a success by any measure.

The money raised to combat breast cancer was higher than ever before, with more than $130,000 before the night's auction began, with beautiful weather as the 300 participants rotated through stations to refine their skills, all capped by the Home Run Derby, where U-M football coach Jim Harbaugh and former star quarterback Rick Leach held their Home Run Derby.

While Leach won the derby by hitting the lone home run, with each taking more than a dozen swings, both received significant cheers with everyone understanding the cause.
