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 air in East Troy. I remember going to a couple games last year and I looked forward to coming down to get…

2026-05-24 McFarland at Fort Atkinson (HTL)
Category: Game RecapI’ll begin by apologizing for an omission that became evident when I reviewed photos from this game: I didn’t get a single photo of McFarland players holding a bat. Admittedly, I arrived somewhat late, but there was sufficient time to get some photos of their at-bats. I’ll have to catch another Muskies game in the…

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 doubles 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…
