Little League Baseball Field - Sieg Field

“Sieg Field in Darlington is truly a diamond in the rough. Two of our West Madison Little League all-star teams had the opportunity to play on Sieg Field and it was a fantastic facility. Our fi rst reaction upon arriving at this local Field of Dreams was WOW!! What an incredible ballpark. Darlington has a real gem in this facility and I would recommend everyone to visit Sieg Field. It’s great!’’, Bill Battista, V.P., Baseball, West Madison Little League.
