It’s another doubleheader Saturday in Women’s Pro Baseball League action.
Thanks to a San Francisco Firebells offensive explosion on Friday night when they beat the Los Angeles Queens 17-3, the Firebells enter the day on top of the standings at 4-2. Kelsie Whitmore was again the star of the day, getting the win on the mound after giving up two runs on five hits with two walks and two strikeouts in four innings. At the plate, Whitmore drove in six runs for the second straight game, hitting two homers, including a grand slam.
Today, all four teams will be in action.
It's a double header day!!
