The 2018 Hartford Baseball Program team took a trip to a Wisconsin Timber Rattlers game. The Timber Rattlers are the Single-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. We made the trip up to Appleton and toured the stadium before our buffet style dinner. Unfortunately, mother nature didn't cooperate so we didn't get to watch baseball. We still had a great time building chemistry within our program. Thanks to all the 2018 Sponsors for making this trip a huge success! |
