Augusta Athletics
The Augusta Athletics are gearing up for the 2024 season after bringing the team back to the CRBL in 2023. In their first season back, the Athletics were competitive and the team built a solid fan base and family-friendly entertainment option during the summer months. Additionally, teams were highly complimentary about the improvements and renovations at Jan Krueger Memorial Field.
With spring training set to start very soon, the Athletics look poised to improve in 2024. The team has brought in several new players to complement returning stars like infielder Jacob Rosemeyer, pitcher JJ Breaker, outfielder Brice Shimon and outfielder Logan Brown. “We learned a lot in our first season, and now have higher expectations,” said manager Duane Ives. “Our young core group of players gained valuable experience which I think will translate to
even better performance on the field this year and a spot in the WBA tournament.”
THANK YOU to our growing list of sponsors and supporters, we’re extremely grateful for all the support we received last year and already this year. Come out and join us from some A’s baseball at the newly renovated Jan Krueger Memorial Field!
Let’s Play Ball!

Cadott Red Sox
The 2023 Red Sox brought baseball excitement back to Cadott. The team came together to finish 10-10 in the CRBL (19-12 overall) and make the WBA Playoffs for the first time since 1985! The Sox finished 1-1 in WBA play losing to the River Falls Fighting Fish and beating the Glidden Orioles.
The 2024 Sox will look to build on what they accomplished last season. Fifteen players return from last year’s squad. They were also able to add four or five new faces to fill out their roster.
Pitching was a strength last season for the Red Sox. Rookie of the Year Henry Wilkinson will once again anchor the rotation. The big righty went 6-1 with a 1.77 ERA and had 63 strikeouts. Allstar Zack Thiesse, who led the team in innings pitched (56 1/3) is poised to be busy again. Second year lefty Warren Bowe and rookie Chase Watkins should be key contributors as well.
.
On the offensive side of the ball the Sox will be led by allstar Jonah Hanson (.333 avg, 6 2bs, 14 rbis). Hanson solidfied the catcher position for the Cadott in 2023. Allstar and All CRBL Honrable Mention Cole Bakkum (.345 avg, 4 2bs, 13 rbis) will play third base, outfield, and toss a few innings for the Sox. Ely Johnson ( .307 avg 4 HRs, 16 rbis) looks to roam the outfield and continue his power surge in ’24. Two time allstar Chad Kron (14 runs, 9 sbs), Logan Burzynski (.416 avg 15 hits), and Jack Kein (.333 avg) will all be key contributors as well.
The Red Sox would like to thank their outstanding sponsors and fans. The support that you give this team is amazing! We hope to see you at the field this season. GO SOX!
