August 24, Glory Settle for Second After 6-4 Loss to Bandits in Championship Game

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]

August 22, 5 Force Errors Not Enough to Give Game to Glory in 7-4 Loss

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]

August 17, Glory Lose Game to New England (2-1) and Second Place to Philly

Game recap. NPF website story (coming soon). It's a good thing we already had third place locked up before we went to New England. We scored a grand total of 4 runs over the 4 game series. We're asking way too much of our pitchers right now. We need to start hitting or we might as... [More]

August 14, Glory Lose Series Opener to New England, 4-0

Game recap. NPF website story. This isn't a good start. For the third straight time, the score of the opening game of a 4-game set between Washington and New England was 4-0. But this time we weren't the winning team. It was Sarah Pauly vs Eileen Canney. It doesn't look l... [More]

August 11, Glory Bid Farewell to Westfield with a 4-1 Win to Sweep Akron

Game recap. NPF website story.  The home finale was a matchup of Lisa Ferguson for the Glory and Jamee Juarez for Akron. Fergie hadn't pitched in a while, and it was evident from the beginning. And apparently expected, as Taryne Mowatt was warming up almost from the first pitch. ... [More]
