Wausau Northwoods League softball team to be called Ignite

Wausau’s Northwoods League softball team will be known as Wausau Ignite
Softball. The Northwoods League, which is one of baseball’s premier
summer collegiate leagues, began a softball league last season, with
teams in LaCrosse, Madison, Mankato and Minot. This year, the
Wisconsin Woodchucks will sponsor Wausau Ignite, making Northwoods
League softball a five-team league. Play begins on June 10, and will
conclude with a championship series to begin on August 4. The Ignite
will play at Wausau’s Athletic Park, which was fitted for softball with
FieldTurf following the 2024 baseball season. With that new surface in
place, Athletic Park will also be available for high school softball,
and Mosinee will play Pacelli in the first softball game at Athletic
Park on April 24.
