On Tuesday, July 14th, the Prep Baseball Wisconsin staff continued the summer circuit with the Western Wiscontin Summer ID at Valley Sports Academy in Lake Hallie, WI. This open event hosted around 20 kids from around the state, allowing our staff to get an up-close and personal look at them before the summer really started to heat up.
