2026-07-23 Sauk Prairie Twins @ Dodgeville Knights (HTL)
Category: Game RecapAll season long, I’ve enjoyed seeing different ballparks, especially those that have a grandstand. Months ago, I came across an early 1900s Dodgeville RPPC (Real-Photo Postcard) of a ballgame in progress. In the photo, it shows a grandstand that looks similar to the present-day grandstands in Dodgeville’s Centennial Park. So, I was looking forward to…

2026-07-22 Janesville Cheese Kings vs. Lake Mills Beach Bums at Johnson Creek (DCL)
Category: Game RecapMost ballgames are played on Saturday and Sunday. The Home Talent League has a Night League that generally plays on Sundays. Besides pro baseball, the collegiate leagues generally play daily, so it was nice to have a Wednesday option to scoot over to Johnson Creek to see the Janesville Cheese Kings take on the Lake…

2026-07-19 Pine Bluff Bluffers @ Wiota Indians (HTL)
Category: Game RecapOn the return side of a weekend getaway to visit friends in Iowa, I planned to see a game further from home in Southwestern Wisconsin. Per recommendation from the Blanchardville coach on Thursday, I took his advice to see a game in Wiota. The game itself had a lopsided outcome, but I was very pleased…

Category: Game RecapAs part of a weekend getaway to Iowa to see friends, I’d planned to see the Thursday night game between Shullsburg/Benton and Blanchardville, and then one of two ballgames on the way back Sunday afternoon. After speaking to the Blanchardville coach, he help solidify my preference to see a game in Wiota. Each of these…

2026-07-15 Hustisford Astros at Theinsville-Mequon Twins (RRL)
Category: Game RecapIn this Wednesday matchup between Hustisford and Thiensville-Mequon, I tried to make the best of an 8:00pm start time, overcast skies, and the haze caused by smoke from Minnesota and Canadian wildfires. I managed to get a couple innings of photography, aided by pulling out my faster 80-200mm lens. Before the game was under way,…

2026-07-12 Clyman Canners at Rubicon Red Sox (RRL)
Category: Game RecapWow! Just wow!! This was the game of the big inning, a big inning for each ballclub. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see exciting conclusion because of a personal scheduling conflict. Rubicon got things started in the first when a walk and a home run to center by Logan Mantz gave the Sox a 2-0…

2026-07-11 Reedsburg Pirates at Black Earth Bombers (HTL)
Category: Game RecapFor the second of to games on Saturday the 11th, I drove to Black Earth to cover the matchup between the Reedsburg Pirates and Bombers. It was a good pitcher’s duel, which was a total opposite of the first game in Rome where the final score was 15-10. Reedsburg took advantage of a slow start…

2026-07-11 Kenosha Kings at Rome Raiders (LOL)
Category: Game RecapAfter watching Kenosha take on Waterford the night before, I wanted to get some better photos during the day so I scooted over to Rome to catch the first of two games for the day. This was a high scoring affair as both teams combined for 31 hits and 25 runs; 49 batters reached base.…

Category: Game RecapOn a beautiful Friday evening, my wife and I headed down Hwy 83 to see a matchup between the visiting Watertown Rivermen and host Kenosha Kings at Burlington’s Beaumont Field. For eight innings, it was a pitcher’s duel as Kenosha took a narrow 3-2 lead into the ninth. In the top of the ninth, the…

2026-07-10 Pine Bluff Bluffers at Evansville Jays (HTL)
Category: Game RecapFor this Thursday evening ballgame, I headed to Evansville to see the Jays take on the Pine Bluff Bluffers. It was the first time seeing the Jays this season, and the first time watching the Bluffers, so it was a game I was looking forward to shoot. Like most 7:30 starts, the opportunity to shoot…
