(New Buffalo, MI) - A championship baseball coach is a new member of the sports hall of fame in

New Buffalo.

Roger Vink coached the 1983 Class D state champions.

He says the team struggled during the regular season but caught fire when

his players decided to live up to their potential.

Vink, honored Thursday night during the high school boys’ basketball game, is the owner of Oink’s,

the popular ice cream parlor along U.S 12.

He coached baseball in New Buffalo for nine seasons.
