For this end of the season matchup, Dousman drove up Hwy 67 to take on Oconomowoc at Roosevelt Field. Bright sun and deep, dark shadows led to several hours of post processing. Oconomowoc jumped out to a quick start in the bottom of the 1st and never looked back. After a one-out walk and a…

The game between Hartland and West Bend was part of a personal tripleheader. The goal was to see two teams I haven’t seen this year – West Bend and Oakfield – and then finish up with a late afternoon game between Neosho and Rubicon. Today was a bit of a struggle for Hartland. The bats…

This was a great ballgame! The Bulldogs staked themselves to an early lead by scoring three runs in the bottom of the first. Three runs scored on three singles, a throwing error, and a fielders choice. In the top of the 4th, the Blue Sox scored two runs when Jackson Sadowski led off with a…

After 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.…

On 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…

For the first of two games today, I drove to Brookfield to see the Bulldogs take on the visiting Racine Kiwanis. After seeing James Severson pitch in the Land O’ Lakes playoffs the previous year, I was happy to see him tossing for Brookfield for this game. Severson earned the complete game victory by allowing…

This was a great day for a ballgame. The weather was excellent with temps in the 70s and light overcast skies. There was shade to enjoy not getting baked in the sun. I enjoyed moving around the ballfield – parks with a tall fence are problematic. And while shooting through the fence behind home plate,…

In the Saturday matinee doubleheader between the Racine Kiwanis and host Sussex Cardinals, Racine’s play could be characterized a “Jekyll and Hyde” performance. Even though Sussex won each of the games, they journey was much different. Final scores:Game 1: Sussex 10 – Racine 0 (5 innings)Game 2: Sussex 15 – Racine 14 Game 1 was…

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…

The morning matchup in the first of two between the visiting Waterford Rivermen and Dousman Frogs was a great, well-pitched game. Rivermen pitcher Matt O’Sullivan was dissecting the Frogs batters in the early innings with 9 Ks in the first four innings. The Frogs threatened in the bottom of the 3rd when when a walk…
