The USSSA Pride season kicks off tonight at Rosemont Stadium in Chicago.
The 2012 NPF season starts off with a rematch of last years 2 top seeds and a rematch of the championship series in 2011 between the Bandits and the Pride.
Game time for tonight is 8:35 PM. The Pride welcome back 16 players from last years roster including former olympians Natasha Watley, Jessica Mendoza, Caitlin Lowe, and Cat Osterman. New additions to the Pride include former Bandits player Jamee Jurez, along with 3 draftee’s that have committed to joining the Pride in which 2 have signed. Brittany Mack, Krystyn Sandberg have signed , and Nikia Williams will sign later next week.
2012 marks the start of a season of redemption for the USSSA Pride, who won the regular season last year but failed to capitalize in the Championship series, and suffered a dissappointing loss to the Chicago Bandits.
