2026-06-05 Helenville (LOL) at Lebanon (RRL)
Category: Game RecapIt rained earlier and instead of venturing northeast to see my first Shoreland Baseball League game hosted by the Two Rivers Polar Bears, I opted to stay locally. Other games in the area were cancelled, but this one was still on. As you will see from a few of my aerial photos, heavy clouds were…

2026-06-04 Lodi Royals at Ashton A’s (HTL)
Category: Game RecapThe Lodi Royals jumped out to an early lead in the top of the third and never looked back in route to a 5-2 victory of the host Ashton A’s in a Thursday Night Home Talent League contest. On the stats sheet, the two teams were a pretty good matchup, but the Royals came up…

2026-06-03 Columbus Crawdads at Utica Association (HTL)
Category: Game RecapIt is disheartening when your opponent scores 8 runs in the first innning. That is exactly what the Columbus Crawdads faced as they squared away against Utica Association in a Wednesday Home Talent Night League matchup. Columbus was able to score a run in the third when they sequenced a walk and single, followed by…

2026-06-02 Waukesha Foxes vs Madison Hoots at Waterloo (DCL)
Category: Game RecapFor this post, a brief introduction is warranted. My 2026 posts thus far have covered amateur baseball in southcentral and southeastern Wisconsin. That includes the Rock River League (RRL), Land O’ Lakes (LOL), and Home Talent League (HTL). I think most people have some familiarity with the Northwoods League. It is a summer collegiate league…

2026-05-30 Cedarburg at Slinger (RRL)
Category: Game RecapIt took a few innings for the Cedarburg Mercs or host Slinger Stingers to get much offense going. In the fifth inning, Cedarburg stuck first with a pair of runs on a walk and a pair of singles. And, that would be a summary of the Mercs’ scoring for the day. Slinger managed 9 hits…

2026-05-30 Black Earth at Mazomanie (HTL)
Category: Game RecapAfter a scoreless top of the first, the Mustangs scored a pair of runs on a two -run homer by Hudson Barsness. The lead would not last for long as the Bombers sent eight men to the plate in the top of the 2nd. After two outs, Black Earth loaded the bases on a single…

2026-05-27 Clyman at Hartford (RRL)
Category: Game RecapLike usual, night games with a 7:30 start time provides a limited opportunity for quality photos. There are a few decent photos from the game’s action, but there are a few blurry ones too because some movements are challenging to capture at night games. Unfortunately for the home team, this wasn’t their night. For the…

2026-05-25 Fort Atkinson at Footville (HTL)
Category: Game RecapThis was a great, evenly matched game! Selfishly, from a photography standpoint, it could not get much better. Mid-day games often have high sun that cause deep shadows especially under baseball caps and helmets. With light overcast skies, I could shoot from both sides of the field and not worry about shadows. Postprocessing was so…

2026-05-24 Merton at East Troy (LOL)
Category: Game RecapThe first game of the day was a visit to East Troy for a noon start against Merton. I am a sucker for ballfields with some nostalgia and the wooden grandstand provides that aire in East Troy. I remember going to a couple games last year and I looked forward to coming down to get…
