Kristina Thorson vs Sarah Pauly. We've already beaten the toughest pitcher we would face in these games, so we should be able to hit against the Bandits. But can we keep the Bandits, who were just on fire the last month, off the scoreboard? This game was being streamed live via MLB.com, ... [More]

Pauly vs Burkhart. These two battled 4 times during the regular season, with Burkhart winning 3 of them. But this is the one that really matters. The offense continued where they left off last night, and they got to Burkhart early today. Although Nicole Barber and LaDonia Hughes both failed to r... [More]

Megan Gibson for the Force, Jessica Sallinger for the Bandits. For the second time today, the home team took the lead for good in the first inning. But not before the Force got a short-lived lead of their own. Clare Burnum started the game with a single, and moved to third on a single and a ... [More]

The Game Tracker system was well hidden, and apparently not even working, until several innings into the the game. Sarah Pauly vs Jocelyn Forest. Today's game started out similarly to yesterday's with the home team getting a big lead in the bottom of the first. Fortunately, we were ... [More]

Taryne Mowatt vs Katie Burkhart. Although I was right about who would start for us, it turned out to be the wrong choice. In other interesting lineup decisions, Catalina Morris was not in the lineup. I don't know if she was even in Wisconsin, but I would assume so. Our DP tonight was Jessic... [More]

(I waited to post this, just in case some readers had recorded the Gold Medal game. By now, I think everyone knows the winner.) Based on some things I have heard about the Olympic Team, I'm left to wonder if they might have been a factor in their own demise.  (By Olympic Team, I me... [More]

The Bandits radio team was doing the game, but they aren't sticking around to do our game. Kristina Thorson started for the Bandits, but she gave up a solo HR in the third to Lisa Modglin, and was promptly removed in favor of Jessica Sallinger. Eileen Canney took the circle for New England.... [More]

The station that does the Bandits games is doing the games from Kimberly. This page on the NPF site says that the games will be broadcast. It makes no mention of Bandits-only, so hopefully they will do all of the games. We'll find out tonight I guess. (This is also the page that has th... [More]

Last year's championship team had 2 players and 1 coaching staff honored by the NPF in its "-of-the-year" awards. After falling to third place in the regular season, we have zero this year.  The Bandits replaced the Glory this year, but did even better: they took 4 of th... [More]

After placing 5 members on the 18 player team last year, we only manaaged 3 this year. Oli and Larquier were named as at-large members. They are joined by Pitcher Sarah Pauly, one 4 pitchers named to the team. Pauly and Oli have been honored three straight years. This is the first time for Lar... [More]
