Game recap. NPF website story.  I was able to watch the Internet TV broadcast tonight. It was the third matchup of the staff aces, Katie Murkhart vs Sarah Pauly. Burkhart had a fairly quick 1-2-3 inning, but we tend to get to her late rather than early, so I wasn't too worri... [More]

Game recap. NPF website story (currently titled Force Nipped by Racers for some reason).  The games up north are on internet pay-per-view. I wasn't able to watch tonight, so this is from the NPF play-by-play. In a rematch from Sunday night, it was Taryne Mowatt vs Megan Gibso... [More]

Game recap. NPF website story.  Katie Burkhart had beaten us twice already this seies, both times against Pauly. But it was Desiree Serrano's turn to face the rookie tonight, which worked out quite nicely. Desi started out strong, giving up just a walk and a hit batter in ... [More]

Game recap. NPF website story.  Those of us who suffered through last night's marathon loss were rewarded tonight with both a win, and a short game. Some misinformation had been floating around the park during this series that Megan Gibson was on the DL. This was proven at least ... [More]

Game recap. NPF website story.  Wait a minute! Round 1 was just last night, so how can this be round 2 already? How about a 10-inning game, lasting just shy of 4 hours, not including a nearly 20-minute rain delay? Although Desiree Serrano started, against Jodie Cox, both te... [More]

Game recap. NPF website story.  Pay no attention to that idiot who wrote in the preview that Burkhart wouldn't start tonight. Even though Katie Burkhart pitched 5 innings in the first game of yesterday's double-header, she faced off against Sarah Pauly tonight, in anothe... [More]

My UVa girl lead the league in Week 7 of the Home Run Derby, hitting 4 out of 5 over the fence at Westfield. Oli was right behind her, tied for 2nd with 3 dingers. This was the best showing of the season for both ladies. (It took place on July 20th, when I was unable to witness it due to my to... [More]

Jarrod mentioned this on the Glory message board. His interview with her aired before last Sunday's game, but it is not yet available in the archives, so I have been unable to listen to it. From what I can gather from the 3-Day site, she lost her Mom to the disease. She is participating ... [More]

Last year, the Force just missed the playoffs. They tied for 4th with Rockford at 24-20, missing a trip to Kimberly by only a tie-breaker. It would appear that history will not be repeating itself, as they are already at 20 wins, against 12 losses coming in to this series. But we may have som... [More]

Game recap. NPF website story.  I finally got to see the uniform I wanted, our new white shirts paired with the white pants. As I expected, we looked sharp. Unfortunately, this was a day when Rockford did the same thing, though their whites had pinstripes. It was another great ... [More]
