A Labor Day weekend baseball tradition will continue Sept. 6, as Gresham will host Little Falls in the 80th Badger Amateur Baseball Association Grand Championship.

First pitch is set for 2 p.m.

Both teams advanced to the title game after semifinal road wins Aug. 30. Gresham defeated Scandinavia 9-7 in Scandinavia, while Little Falls, the two-time defending Grand Champion, picked up an 8-2 win over Antigo/Polar in Antigo.

As good as the Bonduel Broncos were this season in the Dairyland League, the Hortonville Stars were better when it counted the most.

After earning the top seed for the league’s playoffs, the Broncos had home field advantage throughout the postseason and eventually advanced to the Grand Championship game against the Stars on Aug. 30 at Jack Reinke Field.

The losing streak didn’t last very long.

Less than a week after the Lena/STAA football team opened its season with a 12-6 loss to Laona/Wabeno, the Titans returned to their winning ways Aug. 27 with a 47-6 win over Goodman/Pembine in a matchup of 8-player teams at Lena High School.
