MILWAUKEE — The setting for Sunday’s round robin vintage base ball matches could not have been more beautiful or serene. The site was Doctors Park on the north side of Milwaukee on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. Just as ballists have probably done for 150 years a ball field was laid out and three games of ball were played.

NEWARK — For the past three seasons, Kurt Anderson has been the heart and soul of the Newark High School varsity boys basketball team.

SOMONAUK — The Somonauk Blue Stockings achieved a milestone on Sunday, May 31. In the first inning of their game against the Midway Marauders of Rockford, Jon “Kernal” Napolitano’s single to centerfield was the 1000th base hit since the team was formed in 2006.
