The Bonduel High School baseball team hopes to rely on its hitting while trying to establish some pitchers this spring.

Since the last time the Bears stepped on the field in 2019, the team graduated all six players who landed on a Central Wisconsin Conference-East Division team. Still, the team expects another strong season.

Like many teams across the state this spring, the Bonduel High School softball team will try and fuse its experienced players with several underclassmen to put together a strong season.

Bonduel, which is coached by Chris Reinke, does not return any all-conference players from the 2019 season. But the team does have several experienced players back on the roster as it prepares to play in the always-tough Central Wisconsin Conference-East Division.

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Justin Topa will open the season on the injured list after undergoing an MRI on his right elbow.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell made that announcement March 28. Counsell also said the Brewers have re-signed reliever Brad Boxberger to a minor league contract, and first baseman Daniel Vogelbach has made the team.

Counsell said Topa threw just three pitches in a simulated game March 27 before leaving with elbow discomfort. The Brewers are awaiting results on an MRI that Topa underwent that night.

Wisconsin hired Boston University’s Marisa Moseley as women’s basketball coach as the Badgers attempt to rejuvenate a program that hasn’t produced a winning season in a decade.

Moseley was 45-29 at Boston University after working as an assistant on UConn coach Geno Auriemma’s staff during five of the Huskies’ national championship seasons (2010, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016).

She takes over for Jonathan Tsipis, who was fired after Wisconsin’s first-round loss in the Big Ten Tournament. Tsipis went 50-99 in five seasons, including a 16-74 mark in Big Ten competition.

The Milwaukee Brewers re-signed pitcher Jordan Zimmermann to a minor league contract one day after releasing him.

This move enables the Brewers to send the 34-year-old right-hander to their alternate site in Appleton.

“I think Jordan is going to help us at some point in the season,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “I think he’s a great presence in the clubhouse, and I’m happy we were able to work something out for him to be able to stay with us. We’re going to need depth.”

After a frustrating six-year stint at Texas in which he never quite lived up to lofty expectations, Shaka Smart is returning to his home state and starting over at Marquette.

Marquette officially announced March 26 that it had hired Smart to replace Steve Wojciechowski, who was fired a week ago. The move came six days after Smart’s Texas team was upset 53-52 by Abilene Christian in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
