Beloit Senior Legion braces to host regional tournament
BELOIT — His team may have only played about half the games it was supposed to this summer, thanks to 10 rainouts, but head coach Brad Farrell has seen enough of his Beloit Senior Bandits to believe they’ll do well in the AAA Region 6 tournament they’ll host starting Tuesday at the Stateline Family YMCA Youth Sports Complex.

COLUMN: Bob Uecker deserves chance to call a World Series clincher
Earlier this week on TwitterX, a feature with Tom Rinaldi on Bob Uecker came up (which I’d highly recommend). Uecker, 90, is in his 54th year being the play-by-play man for the Brewers. In my Brewer text thread with Josh Flickinger and his (and now my friend) Jon, we chatted about what Uecker meant to us. Whenever the Brewers were playing and I was in the car with my dad, they were on, which meant Bob Uecker was on. Uecker was usually telling an absurd...
