For WRCO Sports, I'm Filney. In local baseball last night, the Verrocua Legion 18 U team

defeated Riverdale 9-5. For the Chieftains, Ethan Kegel and Carson Kinion each had two RBI's

to help out Riverdale and keep them in the game, but Verrocua prevailed in the end.

Elsewhere last night, the Ithaca Summer Baseball team lost a Readsburg for two

and defeated Richland Center 7-0. Kaden Keller and Mack Nief each had hits in the 4-2

lost to Readsburg. Sammy Clary had two hits and Houston Bull and a Devon Eim pitched for Ithaca

in the win over Richland Center. The Simon's Shark Swim team was back into action on Tuesday night,

swimming in a quadrangular at Lancaster. Lancaster swam to a first place finish,

Dodgel came in second, the sharks were third, and the Platteville swim team finished fourth,

even though the sharks were short on numbers, many swimmers made improvements individually.

The 9-10-year-old girls relay team consisting of Kaelin Burns, Lauren Chambers,

Claire Hying and Morgan Worthington put together another noteworthy performance

by winning both the medley relay and free relay. The 9-10-year-old girls relay team remains

unbeaten on the air. Swimmers who earned individual first place finishes were Lauren Chambers

in the breaststroke and backstroke, Clancy Hying in the backstroke, and Kaelin Burns and Caleb

Waterfall in the individual medley. Swimming to second place finishes were Kaelin Burns in the

freestyle, Elsa Norte and Amrick Coleman in the backstroke, also Elsa Norte, Lauren Chambers,

Caleb Waterfall and James Waterfall in Butterfly, Jeremiah Weber in breaststroke,

and Morgan Worthington and James Waterfall in the individual medley. Third place finishes were

earned by James Waterfall and Leah Chambers in the freestyle, Claire Hying in backstroke,

Long freestyle and Butterfly, Madeline Ringelstetter and Gabriella Ortiz in Butterfly.

The eight and undergirls medley relay team made up of Harper Adler,

Zaley Coleman, Audrey Waterfall and Brooklyn Worthington also showed great improvement and placed

fourth. Due to a shortage of numbers, many swimmers were called on to swim up an age division

or two in order to score points for their team. Those swimmers include Emma Lee Salas,

Elsa Norte, Amrick Coleman, Caleb Waterfall, Katie Weber and Madeline Ringelstetter.

The sharks will swim on the road Thursday in Prairie Dushin.

Richland Center Church League softball results from last night. Church of the Nazarene remains

unbeaten as they posted a shutout of Richland Daptist Temple 1-15-nothing. Corey Harris and

Jared McCullum each went four for four. At all players in the lineup had multiple hits.

St. Mary's holds in second place, out slugging Boschabell Assembly of God 23-8. Nate Rache was four

Today, the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association All-Star Girls Games will be played.

The boys will be playing tomorrow. Also new this year, a three-point contest will be held each day

between the division three and division two games. The girls All-Star Game gets underway today

at nine for division five at 10-30 for division four, 12-40 for division three, 230 for division

two and four o'clock for the division one girls game. Among the players from Southwest Wisconsin

on the division three South Squad, Marley Bush of Dodgeville. Division four All-Star's include

Aaron Knowles of Boscabel, Aubrey McCarthy, Darlington, Bracey Nelson, Phenomore, Bell Waters,

Mineral Point, Mara Groan of Royal and Bronwyn Halverson of Highland will be among those from

Southwest Wisconsin appearing in the state girls All-Star Games today. A tie-breaking home run by

Joey Ortiz and six shout out innings from Bryce Wilson spelled victory for the Brewers last night

at home. Milwaukee won by three-one score to add a half game to its lead in the National League

Central standings. Wilson's record improves to five and three. His team struggled to hit with

men on base, but holding Texas to one run made the victory possible. Yeah, I mean, I think just

pure command and pure execution. I wasn't just a lot of strikes. It was a lot of good strikes,

which is, you know, with the team that's that aggressive throwing a lot of strikes could be

really good like it was tonight or they can get on you pretty quick. So just to be able to

command the strikes on the business. That's Bryce Wilson. Elsewherean Major League Baseball yesterday

Detroit over Philadelphia 4-1, the Mets 9-7 over the Yankees Miami 2, Kansas City 1, Houston 5-2

over Colorado. The Dodgers 4, White Sox 3, Arizona 5-4 over Minnesota. In the National League,

Atlanta at St. Louis Postponed, Pittsburgh 9, Cincinnati 5, San Francisco 5-1 over the Cubs,

San Diego 9, Washington 7. In the American League, Cleveland 10, Baltimore 8, Tampa Bay 11-3

over Seattle, Toronto 9, Boston 4, the Angels 7-5 winners over Oakland. And the Brewers made a deal

yesterday bringing in Dallas, Keikle, who had a lot of success in the American League 2015 AL-Sai

Young Award winner. They're hoping he can provide a boost to the injury riddled pitching staff

now that he's worked his way back into the majors. They sent cash to the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday

to acquire Keikle would spend most all of the season in the minors. He's worked through some

injuries and he is excited to get a chance with the Brewers. I knew deep down that I still had

a couple years left. So it's been nice to perform well in a hitter friendly league in the PCL. So

kind of passed that test. So it's nice to be here. This was one of the spots that I kind of

targeted early in spring training and kind of doing my own research and background stuff. So

very, very excited to be here. Dallas Keikle will get the ball today as the Brewers look for the sweep

against the Rangers. Hobie Milner actually got the start last night in the victory. He became

the 13th different brewer pitcher to start a game this season that will go to 14 today.

That matches the Miami Marlins for the highest total of any major league team.

Elsewhere in sports, the Packer's second-year wide receiver, Jaden Reed is listed at NFL.com

on the All Breakout team for 2024. Analyst Bucky Brooks lists Reed as one of three wide

receivers bound to break out in the coming season. He already led Green Bay and receiving during

last season. Brooks sees him as a possible emerging person. As quarterback Jordan loves number one

option. He compares Reed to Randall Cobb. NFL.com says the only reason Reed might not break out into

a star is competition from the other talented whiteouts on the Packers roster. The box looked to

get some things done in the NBA draft, specifically drafting somebody who could possibly help right

away. Here is GM John Horst. Doesn't mean that we wouldn't draft a player that can't really

contribute now and really has a big time horizon and a big upside. That's something we'll always

look at. But I think those other options in the past have been more attractive to us and I think

we've gotten great benefit out of it and I think we'll continue to focus on those and that's really

what's going on right now this time of year is you're just trying to generate as many of those

options as you can to evaluate and hope to make a good decision. NBA draft gets underway

tonight and that is a look in sports. I'm Phil Ne.
