DAY ONE: TEAM WISCONSIN VS TEAM ILLINOIS

Team Wisconsin took on Team Illinois in Game One of the Future Games Team Wisconsin pushed a run across in the first and never surrendered the lead after.

The arms only gave up six hits across and one earned run. LHP Colton Semmelmann (Brookfield Central, 2026) got the start for Team Wisconsin, allowing a single hit and struck out one batter in his lone inning on the mound. The 6-foot-1 left-hander reached 90 mph throughout his outing, he showed a mid-70s slider that spun at 2600+ rpms.

Team Wisconsin would go on to toss six scoreless innings, starting with RHP Cameron Carter the 6-foot-4, 170-pound right-hander attacked the zone in his inning of work with two pitches sitting 86-88 mph with carry on his fastball, while confidently spinning a sharp curveball at 74-77.

A pair of lefties showed intrigue during their inning of work.

LHP Montgomery O’Brien (Wauwatosa East, 2026) standing at 6-foot-1, 177-pounds the athletic lefty topped out at 88 mph multiple times early in his outing while spinning a low-73s slider that looks to generate swings and misses.

LHP Bron Schaefer (Kaukauna, 2026) went four up, four down while flashing three-pitches, a mid-80s fastball an upper-70s changeup and a mid-70s curveball.

RHP Mason Schmidt (Somerset, 2026) is an imposing and athletic 6-foot-4 with a low-effort operation that tossed 1.1 clean innings, sitting in the upper-80s with his fastball while showing feel for a mid-70s slider.

Offensively, OF Ezra Liggon (Madison Memorial, 2026) started the game off singled on a ground ball through the infield, later scoring on a INF Winston Alonso single.

INF Chance Ruby (Wilmot Union, 2026) and UTL Sam Abrahamson (Hudson, 2026) were also standouts for Team Wisconsin at the plate. Ruby turned in a successful workout day and built off the momentum going the other way for a base hit in gameplay. Abrahamson was on the barrel throughout his at-bats and was responsible for driving in a run.
