2026-05-23 Reedsburg @ Sauk Prairie (HTL)
Category: Game RecapPlain and simple, Chuck Hall Memorial Field is one of my favorites. It is the home of Home Talent League’s Sauk Prairie Twins; they are a ballclub for the combined communities of Sauk City and Prairie du Sac. The look and feel of the ballpark is that of a small minor league team. Baseball history…

2026-05-23 Watertown @ Farmington (RRL)
Category: Game RecapThe sunlight was harsh and the shadows ran deep, thus making photography a bigger challenge for this mid-afternoon matchup between Watertown and the host Farmington Flames. Farmington pitchers Aiden Berg and Ian Rintelman were on their game as they stuck out 16 Cardinals while avoiding any free passes and scattering 6 hits. Watertown hitters managed…

2026-05-23 North Prairie @ Dousman (LOL)
Category: Game RecapNorth Prairie jumped out to an early lead by scoring a pair of runs on four hits, but Dousman’s pitcher, Matt Brissette, settled in and threw shutout ball while scattering 5 hits and a walk for the remainder of the game. The offensive bright spot included a pair of soubles by Python right fielder, Trenton…

2026-05-22 Sussex vs Milwaukee @ Lannon (LOL)
Category: Game RecapAnother night game and overcast skies created a photography challenge that was dealt with by increasing the ISO camera settings. This leads to more grainy photos, but all in all, I managed a few decent photos of the nights action between the Sussex Cardinals and Milwaukee Beavers in Lannon. Some day I’m going to for…

2026-05-17 Milton @ Rubicon (RRL)
Category: Game RecapPlans for Sunday did not work out as planned. I’d intended to go to the Home Talent League game in Footville, but rain drifting across the state resulted in a change of plans. In retrospect, I missed a good one in Footville. Two pitchers combined for a no-hitter while scoring a baker’s dozen. Anyhow, I…

2026-05-17 Sussex @ Monches (LOL)
Category: Game RecapOn Sunday, the indecisive trait of my personality surfaced. All morning I monitored the area’s weather radar with the hope there would be a ballgame somewhere in the area. My hopes were dimmed as the radar showed splotches of green, yellow, orange, and red. Originally, I planned to go to the Footville game, but other…

2026-05-16 Johnson Creek @ Clyman (RRL)
Category: Game RecapThe Clyman Canners won their home opener of the regular season by edging out the visiting Johnson Creek Pioneers by a score of 2-1. The Canners were led by Brock Vredeveld’s solid complete game pitching performance that included 120 pitches, 4 hits and 3 walks. Johnson Creek got their only run of the game in…

2026-05-14 Utica @ Jefferson (HTL)
Category: Game RecapJefferson played host to Utica for the first Thursday Home Talent League game of the season. If my information is right, both teams agreed to reschedule their mid-season contest because of a tournament conflict. So, my wife and I headed over with the intention of getting a few photos while there was sufficient daylight. Even…

2026-05-09 Milton @ Watertown (RRL)
Category: Game RecapAfter leaving a game in Genesee later than I intended, I was hoping to catch the last few innings of the 1pm start of the Milton vs. Watertown game. An earlier game delayed the start of the game so I managed to reach Washington Park just as the 2nd inning started. After an inning the…

2026-05-09 Rome @ Genesee (LOL)
Category: Game RecapThe 2026 Land O’ Lakes baseball season opened with the Genesee Rebels hosting the visiting Rome Raiders. The Rebels got things started with a pair of runs in the bottom of the first. In the 3rd each team plated a run before Genesee scored two more runs in the bottom of the 4th. I left…
