Baseball across Wisconsin

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…

Plain 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…

Jefferson 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…

Sunday was a beautiful day for baseball, and Albion was a great place to be. The field’s unique features and low fences make it a great place for a guy with a camera lens. The only downside was the bright midday sun. Belleville got the scoring started by plating a run in the top of…

Rome vs. Jefferson was my third ballgame of the day. I am glad stayed put rather than drive up to Hustisford for games there. Hustisford will have to be another day, and besides, it game me the chance to enjoy more baseball rather than staring at pavement. Anyhow, a number of teams in the area…

The first weekend of games in the Jefferson County Spring Tournament was cancelled due to several days of stormy weather and extensive rainfall, but the Jefferson ballfield was dry and well groomed for a set of three 7 inning contests last Saturday, 4/25. In the second game, the Cambridge Blues faced the Fort Atkinson Generals.Cambridge…
