Wow, talk about cutthroat! Finish one game out of first, and out you go.  I wonder if our coaches should be worried? The Force announced last month that  Jeff Franquet, an unpaid volunteer in 2008, will be the head-coach for 2009. Two other males will assist him. No word on the s... [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 Bandits radio team was doing the game, but they aren't sticking around to do our game.

Eileen Canney took the circle for New England.... [More]

The NPF should be ashamed of itself. Last year, we had both audio and video of all games. Sure, the video wasn't great, but it was there. This year? Delayed broadcast of all but the final game and "if" game. How delayed? After the entire series is finished, that's how del... [More]

Philly beat Akron earlier today in the first game of a double-header, eliminating Akron from the 4th playoff spot. This will help our ladies in the Battle of the Bats competition in Kimberly. The two teams are currently playing their final game of the regular season. Akron is down 4-0 in ... [More]

Before last weekend's competition, Sara Larquier and Oli were tied with Akron's Kate Robinson and Chicago's Samantha Findlay. At the Glory game on Saturday, we saw Sara and Kate remain tied by hitting 2 each, while Oli was shut out, so she fell out of first place. The results f... [More]
