In this special edition of Spittin’ Seeds, host Michael — Northwood alum and former USA Prime Michigan coach — sits down with two key players from the Northwood Timberwolves baseball team, Josh Getz and Tyler Sager, as they prepare to compete in the 2025 NCAA Division II College World Series in Cary, North Carolina.
For the first time in program history, Northwood is headed to the CWS — and it’s no accident. With a 40–20 record, a GMAC championship, and a Super Regional win over UIndy, this team has battled its way to the national stage. Josh and Tyler reflect on the journey, their postseason performances, and what it means to represent Northwood with everything on the line. Michael shares personal stories from their travel ball days, and the full-circle pride of watching two of his former players lead a program-defining moment.
Whether you're a Northwood fan, a Michigan baseball supporter, or someone who loves a great underdog story — this one’s for you.
Recorded just days before the CWS opener vs. Central Missouri.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
