Bandits Thu Aug 22 2013
NPF Championships Come To Chicagoland
If you're a fan of fastpitch softball, there will be no better place to be then The Ballpark at Rosemont this weekend. The home of the Chicago Bandits will host the National Pro Fastpitch Championships all weekend long with a stepladder-style tournament. The Bandits will be looking for their second consecutive Cowles Cup after demolishing the USSSA Florida Pride a year ago.
The Bandits locked down the top seed with a victory on the final day of the season last Saturday night, and will likely be facing them in the best of three title series starting Friday night. Outfielder Megan Wiggins headlines a well balanced offensive attack for Chicago after leading the league in batting average and homers by solid margins. League ERA leader Monica Abbott will also be leaned upon heavily as staff ace for the Bandits.
