Family Medicine provider Dr. Brian Kroll of the Richland Hospital was a recent guest on The Morning Show, and he talked about the importance of athletics and the kids getting involved.

I'd encourage parents to consider sports as a second part of school, trying to get at least one sport in, whether that's golf, volleyball, soccer, football, baseball.

It doesn't have to be football, but encourage.

encourage all parents to push their kids to pick up one sport.

You have to pick one sport just to learn those skills.

Phil Nee

practices will be starting soon and other reminders to get those physicals taken care of, right?

Yeah, WIA sports physicals, you need them every two years.

You know, getting them done in the summertime.

Usually, it's a lot less busy now compared to August, just with school starting and needing to get the fall sports done.

So $15, it's a quick appointment.

You have to bring

the WA form and have a parent present.

Those are the only restrictions.

All providers are doing these, but you don't have to see your provider.

You can see anybody, especially if a certain date works better for you, but get them done early.

It's a necessary and important part of querying your child for athletics, and it's a requirement.

So every two years you need

Phil Nee

it.

You can contact the Richland Hospital for more information.

That was Dr. Brian Krall.

It was announced yesterday by the WIAA that Todd Clark, Director of Communications with the WIAA will retire from his role effective January 15th of 2027.

During his more than 26 years in the position, Clark's responsibilities have included overseeing all aspects of sports information for the association, internal and external communications, media relations, corporate marketing and sponsorships, advertising, tournament records and sportsmanship.

He also assisted with website maintenance as well as the tournament series, electronic qualification and seating as well.

He's been a huge help for local media as well when their teams from their area went to the state tournament.

So he will be missed.

Todd Clark's last day again will be coming up in February of 2027 during the upcoming school year.

Tonight, it is Church League Softball.

They're down to two weeks of the regular season games.

Tonight at seven on the East Diamond, St.

Mary's will play Richland Baptist Temple.

One, five points will umpire.

At eight, 10, five points Lutheran will play Richland Baptist Temple.

Two, Grace Community Church will umpire.

And at nine, 20 on the East, Knights of Columbus will play Grace Community Baptist Temple.

Two, will umpire.

On the West Diamond at seven o'clock, Richland Baptist Temple.

Three, plays

The mission, Church of the Nazarene will umpire, and at 810, Boscobel Assembly of God will play Church of the Nazarene, and the mission will provide the umpires.

The Brewer is torched former teammate Freddie Peralta for three home runs in Monday night's 8-3 win at home.

That gives Milwaukee the best record in Major League Baseball at 63 and 37.

Going deep for the home team were Andrew Vaughn, Cooper Pratt, and Joey Ortiz.

It was the first career home run for Pratt.

Man, I felt like it's been time since game one.

But no, I mean, finally.

But I mean, we won, so it's even better.

What did you think of the silent treatment from your teammates?

I was so amped off.

I couldn't do it.

I didn't care.

I mean, it was cool.

I was just so happy to get it out of the way.

But yeah, it was cool.

Manager Pat Murphy was asked about taking Jake Miserowsky out after four innings.

We would probably let him go

further if he was, you know, his delivery and his legs felt great.

And yeah, I think he was a little bit out of it, you know, the long layoff kind of affected his delivery and everything else.

And I think it was important to notice that and get him out of there then Velo dropped.

He couldn't find the rhythm on his heater and,

you know,

went to all off speed stuff.

I think it was important we got him out of there.

And the job that McCullers did was incredible.

The poise he showed and it's tough to pitch sometimes like that, but he did a great job, as well as Yoho and Anderson did big

Phil Nee

things.

Lance McCullers Jr.

talked about the relief role instead of starting.

Approaching hitters is not too different.

The whole process of

just preparing for the game.

And that is a big, big difference for me, but nothing I can't figure out.

Lean on Ash a little bit, talking to those guys, Chad as well, just kind of the transition that they made and what worked for them, what didn't work for them.

So I thought today went pretty well, which I could have finished up that third a little bit stronger, but that's baseball.

And like I said, big team win and Chad wins the series tomorrow.

Phil Nee

Craig Yoho got the win in relief.

Brandon Sprote scheduled to start tonight's second game of the series at American Family Field.

Elsewhere in the National League, Atlanta, 3-2 over San Diego, Philadelphia beat the Dodgers 10-7, Washington 7, Colorado 3.

Interleague play, the Yankees 8, Pittsburgh 5, Kansas City 4-3 over San Francisco, Houston 8, Miami 5, Detroit beat the Cubs 8-6, Seattle 8, Cincinnati nothing, the Angels 3-2 over St.

Louis, it was the athletics over Arizona.

In the American League, White Sox 10, Texas 3, Tampa Bay 7-1 over Toronto.

Cleveland was a winner against Minnesota.

That final score was 13-4.

Cleveland tied a record for their franchise for the number of home runs.

They had seven of them.

last night against the Twins.

And also it was Boston getting the win with 14 straight now.

With one more victory they would match the franchise record set by the 1946 club led by Ted Williams.

Caleb Durbin had a tie-breaking home run over the Green Monster with two outs in the eighth inning and the Red Sox extended the second longest winning streak in club history to 14 games with a 6-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles.

The backers have locked up another young starting player.

Defensive tackle Devante Wyatt signed a three-year $57 million contract.

Wyatt gets a $20 million signing bonus.

Green Bay has reached agreement on contract extensions with Isaiah McDuffie, Jaden Reed, and Christian Watson recently.

The team is expected to work out a long-term deal with tight end Tucker Kraft.

And the Bucks front office still has some work to do as it constructs a roster after a major trade.

The team has too many guards.

Sports Illustrated reports that Ryan Rollins, Tyler Hero, Brandon Burrys are locks that could leave maybe AJ Green and Kevin Porter Jr.

The most valuable on the trade market, mostly from competitive teams looking for depth.

With a look at sports on this Tuesday morning, I am Phil Knee.
