Phil Lee has a look at tonight's local baseball broadcast.

Kazanobia plays host to Sock Prairie tonight in area home talent baseball.

Here's Kaz manager Nick Stittlebrook.

Our Sunday league season offense officially ended this last weekend for us, but I think

we have four games left now in the Thursday night league yet for us.

So plenty of all to be played for us.

Nick says Sock will be a formidable opponent tonight.

They're all around a great ball team, they have good pitching, they play phenomenal defense,

and they can hit the ball well from one through nine in the lineup.

You don't really have an easy out anywhere with them.

So you have to have all your cylinders firing and firing for the game,

and in order to keep her close and pull out a W against them.

Game time 710 tonight on FM 100.9 and WRC.com.

And then it's Sock at Kazanobia for a speech time schedule for around 730.

I'm Phil Lee for WRC Sports.

Thanks Phil.

Brewer's outfielder Christian Yelich will seek an alternative solution for his back injury.

Surgery would have kept the national league's leading batter out of the rest of the season.

Instead Yelich will try to rust and rehab according to Major League Baseball Analyst,

Ken Rosenthal.

The three-two-year-old veteran was placed on the injured list earlier this week.

He has struggles with back issues for several years.

After an open date, the Brewers are back in action.

They'll be at home tonight taking on the Marlins in a three-game series

with Freddie Peralta starting the game against the Marlins.

First pitch for that contest will be at 710,

and you'll be able to hear the broadcast on WRC.

It will be 107.7 and AM-1450 with the pregame starting at 635.

Milwaukee Brewers closer, Devon Williams appears to be on the verge of making his season debut

after missing four months with stress factors in his back.

Brewers president of Baseball Operations, Matt Arnold, says that we're hoping for Devon here in the next few days

if things go well.

Williams has struck out six and walked two without allowing a hit in three scoreless innings

during a rehabilitation assignment.

Williams went eight and three with 36 saves and a 1.53 ERA last season during his second

National League Reliever of the Year Award.

The Wisconsin men's basketball program has received a commitment from an international guard prospect.

Six-foot-five, Hayden Jones of New Zealand, becomes part of the UW Recruiting Class of 2025.

The announcement was made yesterday.

Jones has been playing in the New Zealand National Basketball League for the last two seasons.

He has also played on the international circuit for his native country and has competed with its FIBA team.

Coach Greg Gard has several open spots to fill with several seniors on the roster now.

And Paris has kicked off its first summer Olympics in a century with a rain soaked rule-breaking opening ceremony.

White spread travel disruptions triggered by what French officials said were coordinated arson attacks on high-speed rail lines

and rains in Paris has dampered the mood ahead of the ceremony's start on Friday evening.

But as the global audiences tuned in, the show's spectacular launch immediately lifted spirits.

A humorous short film featured soccer icon, CNU Dean Zudan, and it was followed by fireworks of French blue, white and red.

Crowds crammed along the river sign, and were watching from balconies, and Oud and Oud as Olympic teams began parading in boats along the waterway.
