ASHTON – It was a perfect, sun-splashed afternoon for baseball Sunday, and the host Ashton A’s brought their ‘A’ game.

It’s been 55 years since Sauk Prairie’s Home Talent League team has won the league championship.

The 2021 Twins seem hell-bent on ending that lengthy drought, though.

Nolan Vils has been a successful three-sport athlete for the Sauk Prairie Eagles the past two years, including earning back-to-back sectional appearances in wrestling along with playing JV baseball.

But the 6-foot-2, 240-pound junior running back and noseguard would like his success to translate onto the gridiron again this fall.

CROSS PLAINS – Alan Seabrooke is proof that it doesn’t take a major adjustment for a batter to get back on track at the plate.

But it helps if you can see the ball when it is pitched.

Lucas Koenig knows the past is just that — the past.

Sauk Prairie’s Home Talent League player/manager fully understands all that matters now is the present.

But if the Twins keep performing like they have in the past, the future will be packed with excitement.
