Cobb County to Host 2010 Girls' 18-GOLD National Championship
The Amateur Softball Association (ASA) national office has announced that Marietta, GA (Cobb County) will be the site for the 2010 ASA Girls’ 18-Under GOLD National Championship August 1-7. With an ASA Code decision recently passed by the ASA Council, the 18-U GOLD National Championship will move to the Lost Mountain Softball Complex in Marietta in 2010, a to be determined west coast site in 2011 and return to the ASA Hall of Fame Complex in Oklahoma City in 2012.
“With the changes that occurred in Reno at the ASA Annual Meeting, we decided that moving the GOLD to the east would be a great first step towards the new rotation,” said ASA Executive Director Ron Radigonda. “Marietta has proven to be a successful host for ASA National Championships especially as the 2004 hosts of the GOLD National. We are excited to move this tournament next year to the west and then every third year return to our home in Oklahoma City. We feel this is the best solution to meet the needs of the teams and everyone else involved in the success of the GOLD.”

The Word is Out Now - It's the Thunder!
After some fine investigative journalism, Kristi Swartz of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution discovered and reported that it is, in fact, the 2009 Cowles Cup Champion Rockford Thunder Team that Dynasty Fastpitch is working to acquire (subject to approval by the National Pro Fastpitch League). Atlanta loves a Champion, and there is no Champion better than the Thunder! Let's get behind them Atlanta - these ladies deserve our best effort and they can't wait to meet you!
If you want to be a part of this effort (in any capacity - we are hearing from sponsors, volunteers and investors), please contact us at: pcdelashmit@yahoo.com

Thunder Roll Call - Spencer and Scott Sign In
Two more Thunder stars, Chelsea Spencer and Shanel Scott, join the Thunder Roll Call!
If you haven't seen it yet, Chelsea Spencer rocked a Thunder-shot homer against the Pride in the 2009 Cowles Cup Championship Final (Game 3 - bottom of the 3rd inning) that took Lowe through the centerfield fence and put the game away. Go to www.MLB.com to search for the footage of the Championship series - it is terrific, fundamental softball and Cat was masterful as always!

Breaking News: Jennie Checks In and Bandits Take the Lead!
Well, true to form, Jennie Finch took the time to check in with us from the road and almost immediately the Chicago Bandits took the lead in the voting for Favorite NPF Team from the Rockford Thunder! It's a border war now!
And The Diamond Sports 2009 Pitcher of the Year, Eileen Canney (Chicago Bandits), quickly moved into the race with Cat and Jennie for Favorite NPF Pitcher. But the southern girls Abbott (UT) and Norris (UNC) are right there with her.
Vote as much as you like, but keep those votes coming! Also, please encourage your local businesses to support National Pro Fastpitch and our effort to bring it to Atlanta. Have them email us or leave a comment in the Guestbook and we will follow up.

Dynasty Fastpitch - "Ask the Pros" Segment
For our "Ask the Pros" segment, Dynasty Fastpitch caught up with Aileen Morales (Chicago Bandits player and Georgia Tech Assistant Coach) as she came off the field after a long day of individual instruction with her players.
We discussed with Amo the dominating performance of Rockford Thunder ace, Cat Osterman, in the 2009 Cowles Cup Championship. Between the two games on Championship Sunday, Cat Osterman struck out an amazing 26 batters and only gave up four hits. For the tournament, Osterman struck out 50 batters in 31 innings in five starts, pitching 31 of her team's 41 innings.
We tried to get Amo to tell us the secrets of the pros when facing a pitcher with such dominating "stuff." We asked: "what are looking for on the first pitch; what pitch are you looking to hit; if you're down in the count, what do you expect to see?" As any great hitter might, Aileen hesitated to answer for fear of giving away the "scouting report" but she did give us this nugget of news . . . "You won't see me swing at her dropball because that thing is too nasty to hit. It's DY-nasty!"
What a great sense of humor! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us Coach Morales!

Hello NPF fans!
Caitlin Lever here, outfielder for the Chicago Bandits and the Canadian National Team. I played my college career with Georgia Tech and when I heard of the possibility of having a pro team there I was ecstatic. I hope everything pans out well and all the great fans of Atlanta support their team!! Looking forward to professional excitement hitting my alma mater's field!

The Challenge is ON Atlanta!
Dynasty Fastpitch knows how Atlanta loves a little friendly competition! Keep voting for your favorite NPF players in our Survey, and we'll announce the results November 30th.
Cat and Jennie are neck-and-neck, but our hometown girl Lisa Norris is comin' on strong (just like her pitching!). We're bettin' there are some Tar Heels out there somewhere to make this a 3-way race!
Atlanta is Thunderstruck right now, but the Thunder was only up by 1 over the Bandits! Amo's been sending her Chicago Bandit friends to check out the action in Atlanta and this one is a tight game too. The Bandits don't go down without a serious fight. If the Bandits can get Jennie to jump into the game (and sign the Guestbook), they might be able to take it -- we'll see! {=0
