Omro @ Ripon
March 29, 2022

On a very cold and blustery opening day in Ripon, the WIAA baseball season was in full swing with many acts of positive Sportsmanship. Donny Sohm and Nate Piper led the Omro team by assisting opponents with bat retrieval and offering a kind hand of congratulations on a game well played. Max Belling and Brett Bock of Ripon also added multiple acts of sportsmanship by helping retrieve foul balls and to chase down rogue, blowing helmets. We as umpires noticed these and many other positive acts of sportsmanship throughout the contest and very much appreciated them, thank you to both teams. Keep up the awesome work and have a great 2022 season!

The players from the Menominee Indian displayed great sportsmanship throughout the entire game. The were a few plays where a foul was called and the players went to the floor and the Menominee players were there to help the Iola players get up. The Menominee Indian players were very polite when talking to the officials. Even after they lost the game, they came up to us and thanked us for officiating the game. This to me is great leadership by the coach and parents.

From our arrival at the site to when we left after the game concluded, the overall atmosphere was outstanding. The fans cheered on there teams, the coaches coached their teams and both players and coaches from each respective team were easy to work with and treated the officials with kindness and respect. Both teams also demonstrated excellent sportsmanship toward each other and contributed to making it an overall positive experience.
