Minor League or College Ball in Wisconsin?

Bulldog,Madison area has the Madison Mallards of the Northwoods league,which is about 40 minutes west of you.Milwaukke area HS's play summer baseball.There are some good tournaments right in Whitewater.PG also has a fall league in the area

Bulldog - Beloit Snappers - Class A team affiliated with Twins(?). Beloit is an easy 45 minute drive west. Also have Rockford Riverhawks in the Frontier League (20 minutes south of Beloit) and the Kane County Cougars (Class A - A's) probably 90 minutes south of Whitewater in the Geneva/St. Charles, IL area. Lodi already mentioned the Madison Mallards. I think there is also a team in the Appleton area (Timber Rattlers affiliated with Brewers - Class A) about 2 1/2 hours north of Whitewater.

Milt, thanks. I've done some looking and I've dug up the Snappers and the team there in Appleton (something doesn't sound right about the name, but something close). It's funny about Appleton, though, because one our our staff members here at SEMO is from there. Also, I believe Rockford left the Frontier League this year and joined the Northern League? Still not a terrible trip so we'll see. I was actually disappointed to see the Rockford team move leagues because I interned in the Frontier League last season with the Gateway Grizzlies so was hoping to catch them on the road.

Thanks guys; feel free to keep them coming!

BD,

You will simply find amateur college baseball at
the 'Duck Pond' in Madison to be
..........the way it should be played.

Say hi to Itch (the owner) for me.

Hey Bulldog,

I'm originally from southeastern Wisconsin, and have spent a lot of time watching Snappers games over the years. You won't be impressed by the facility, but the prices are good, and you get to get close to the action.

Ive been to a few Snappers games. Not to great of an atmosphere but it's baseball.

Bulldog,

Recently became aware of a collegiate league with a team in Rockford, IL (Rockford Foresters) playing at Marinelli Field (former home to several minor league teams). Website is

Very reasonably priced seats.
