Glory Wins, Abbott Named Series MVP

The Washington Glory defeated the Rockford Thunder 3-1 in Sunday's National Pro Fastpitch Championship game. This is only Washington's first year in the league as an expansion team and they are the champs! An expansion team taking the title is not something you see happen too often in football or in other "mainstream" pro sports for that matter.

Congratulations to the Washington Glory on a great season and congratulations to Monica Abbott for being named the series MVP. She may not have won an NCAA title this year, but she is now a NPF champion.

Weather Delays Championship Series

Ackkk!!! The first day of the National Pro Fastpitch Championship Competition was postponed due to inclement weather. Games will now start at 10:00 am CDT on Saturday. Don't forget, these games are supposed to be available to watch via live streaming video online. I'm not sure how the change in schedule affects that, but check out the post below for the website where the games should be viewable.

I can only imagine what it must be like for the teams to get all prepared for a Championship Series then have the games delayed! Growing up in a state where the softball season ran through the winter, I definitely have experience with the disappointment of cancellations. Postponements and cancellations due to weather sure do make you wish there was a softball dome in the area!

For more information on the revised Championship Schedule, visit the NPF Website.
