The Columbus Crawdads met up with the Sun Prairie Red Birds for a Thursday night Home Talent League contest at Marshall’s Fireman’s Park. The Crawdads jumped out to an early lead by putting up a four spot in the top of the fourth. A series of timely hits including a double by Matt Miller led…

In the Fort Atkinson annual baseball tournament, the Rome Raiders squared off against the Utica Association for what would become a pitcher’s duel. Utica scored a run in the bottom of the first, and that would be enough to secure a win. But, the win would not come easy. In the middle innings, Rome threatened…

After the morning contest between Waterford and Dousman, I scooted over to Jefferson to catch the remainder of the game between the Lake Mills Grays and Jefferson Blue Devils. While the Grays struggled at the plate with just one hit, the Blue Devils showed some pop with a pair of doubles, a home run, and…

For the second game of the day, I scooted from Dousman to make it just in time for the start of the game between DeForest and Cottage Grove. Cottage Grove jumped out to an early lead with a run in the bottom of the first, and never looked back. The Firemen added a pair in…

I was able to watch a weekday matchup between the Johnson Creek Pioneers and Albion Tigers because of a rainout of 6/5 games scheduled as part of the 2026 Fort Atkinson Generals Baseball Tournament. At the end of this 7 inning affair, Johnson Creek advances in the winner’s bracket with a 5-2 victory. Johnson Creek…

The 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…

It 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…

After 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…

This 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…

I’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…
