More Northwoods League baseball action. Battle Creek Bombers third baseman Connor Panas watching--and chasing--a foul fly by Madison's Joe Dudek in the fourth inning of tonight's game. Panas would make the catch, but Madison would win the game by a 1-0 score . Original photo (not much different) here . 122 game pictures here .

The Northwoods League is a summer collegiate baseball league using wood bats, composed of college players who aren't ready to turn professional but want continue to play during the collegiate off-season. This photo was taken at Battle Creek's CO Brown Stadium. Mr. Impassive on the left is 2013 NWL manager of the year Travis Kiewit, who skippers the Waterloo Bucks. Battle Creek's Dan Trivett, on the right in red, is much more animated. Not sure who the umpires are, though you might be able to identify them from this page . The actual lineup exchange actually occurred before this meeting; this is more about greeting each other and discussing the ground rules which are unique to Battle Creek's ballyard. Battle Creek won the game, 3-0, in a very impressive 2 hours (NWL games generally run 150 minutes or more). Original photo here . 96 game photographs here .

A baseball trapped in the protective screen. This happens every other game or so, but folks tend to be amazed. CO Brown Stadium in Battle Creek, Michigan.

Game action from the Northwoods League--college players using wooden bats for the summer. The shortstop's Brandon Van Horn of the Battle Creek Bombers, and the second baseman making the relay is TJ Hillman. I'm pretty sure the Kalamazoo Growlers baserunner's Cody Leichman. Original photo here . 140 generally-lousy game photos here --I was a terrible photographer last night, partly (but only partly) because I had the camera set up poorly until late in the game.

Battle Creek's Tommy Mirabelli scores--and kicks up a lot of dust--in last night's final home game of the season. The Bombers beat the Green Bay Bullfrogs by an 11-5 score. Original photo here . 581 game photos here . Yup. Two baseball pix in a row. My apologies....

Cam Gibson beats a bunt to first base.... The first baseman's Zack Belanger of the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters. The Rafters beat Cam's Battle Creek Bombers by a 4-3 score. Original photograph here . 569 game pix here .

Northwoods League action from last night: Battle Creek Bombers catcher Kennedy's about to tag Matheny for the second out on a 9-2 double play; Matthew Goodson made the throw from right field. This was the highlight of an otherwise lackluster game. The Madison Mallards won, 11-1. Original photograph here . 358 game photographs here .
