Baseball across Wisconsin

In an evenly matched ballgame between the East Troy Express and Rome Raiders, THe Express came out on top after scoring a pair of runs in the ninth to defeat the Raiders 6-4. Rome struck first with a single run on a pair of singles in the bottom of the third inning. It remained a…

The 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…

The 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…

The 2026 Land O’ Lakes baseball season opened with the Genesee Rebels hosting the visiting Rome Raiders. The Rebels got things started with a pair of runs in the bottom of the first. In the 3rd each team plated a run before Genesee scored two more runs in the bottom of the 4th. I left…

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…
