The end of July is an exciting time for the USSSA Pride as they come home to Central Florida to face the Chicago Bandit’s yet again as part of the National Pro Fastpitch season of professional fastpitch softball.

The venue for the exciting series this week is ESPN’s Wide World of Sports located right within Walt Disney World. Fans of the Pride are encouraged to go ahead and come out to the games or watch live on their computer or mobile device at dev.usssapride.com/live

Before the slightly later game on Saturday players in the USSSA Fastpitch World series are marching in a parade of champions as their opening ceremony and will be staying behind afterwards to watch the best Fastpitch players in the world compete right at Champions Stadium. The USSSA Pride and Chicago Bandits contain numerous Olympic Medalists who have turned pro and now play in the National Pro Fastpitch League and are the heros for many of the young Fastpitch players competing in the tournament.

This series is expected to be an exciting match up with the Pride having recently won three games in a four game series against the Bandits earlier this month while having been beat eight times by the Bandits during this season. The Pride’s Olympian Cat Osterman leads the league for Pitching while her teammate Kelly Kretchman is second for batting. It is certainly going to be an exciting week ahead for the USSSA Pride!
