Now, Sauk Prairie’s Home Talent League team is hoping for similar success in the postseason.

CROSS PLAINS — Black Earth manager Eric Duhr was hoping his Bombers could extend their Home Talent League amateur baseball season at least one more game last Sunday for two reasons.

ASHTON – Heading in the weekend, the Sauk Prairie Twins were in position to determine their own destiny in the upcoming Home Talent League Northern Section playoffs.

First, the Twins needed to win a road game at Ashton on Saturday — a makeup game from May 26 that was postponed due to inclement weather.

The awards keep rolling in for Erelyn Apel.

Apel, a 2024 Sauk Prairie graduate and a standout soccer player, was named an All-American by the United Soccer Coaches. Apel was also named first-team all-state by the Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association.

Sauk Prairie’s Home Talent League team swept a pair of games last weekend and stayed atop the Northern Section.

The Twins defeated Mazomanie, 6-3, on Saturday, then edged Black Earth, 5-4, on Sunday.

It was another exciting year for Sauk Prairie’s boys’ sports teams during a stellar 2023-24 school year.

Brason Ballweg (football, wrestling, baseball), Connor Breunig (football, basketball, golf), and Jackson Breunig (football, basketball, baseball) all finished their prep careers as 12-season athletes.
