La Crosse Elementary School Field

Join us as we turn back the clock for an old-fashioned game of baseball on the La Crosse Elementary School Field as the Loretto Bluejays take on the Historic Fort Hays Post 9 team following 1867 rules. The game begins at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and teams will play for the traditional nine innings.

The game is free and open to the public. This is a family event, so bring your lawn chairs and enjoy a 19th-century baseball game on the site of the 1915 La Crosse High School. Visit the refreshment stand for peanuts, popcorn, lemonade, and more.
