There is something completely new and unique that is coming to Force fans and softball players alike. We're teaming up with the Ripken Academy for a camp in Aberdeen, Maryland. It's going to be awesome!
The camp is open to athletes ages 7-15, it's three days (August 9th-11th) and there is a ton of cool stuff coming with it. For your time there you will receive lunch every day, a Ripken t-shirt and hat. Want to know the best part? Drum roll please.... You get to learn from the pros!
Who are the Force players that are going to be there, you ask? Well, just to head start the camp, the main instruction will come from none other than Jami Lobpries. Seriously!
If that name doesn't ring a bell for you, it should. Jami has a stat book that would knock your socks off. She is a 2008 graduate of Texas A&M, who of course went to the championship series in the Women's College World Series, and she hit a grand slam off Cat Osterman in the Big 12 Championship game! Even more recently, her first homerun on the season was off Angela Tincher. I bet you remember that name, right? She threw a no-hitter against the USA national team. Couldn't no-hit Jami! If those aren't two impressive swings from Jami, just check out our site to see what she's done this season in the NPF.
So if that's not enough. Who else could possibly come? You have a delectable buffet of Yellow Jacket talent with the following line-up: Savannah Brown and Jessica Sallinger.
That's right. The battery from Georgia Tech and two awesome veterans. Who should I describe first? Let's stay alphabetical so there's no bias, though there wouldn't be with these two!
Savannah Brown left a stack of records at Tech when she left the Peach State. The California native blew up the Atlantic Coast Conference holding the RBI record with 194 and third in Tech history in bombs-dropped, pardon me, homeruns with 45. That's just the fat of her stats with Savannah ranking in the top five in eight other catagories. The girl in the mask shouldn't be underestimated, that padding is required, she is tough through and through.
Last, but never least to the Force and the NPF, is Jessica Sallinger. You might remember her from the NPF Championship team the Chicago Bandits. Jessica has made her way around the country from her Georgia roots, to Chicago, out to coach in Ohio and lucky for us she is in Philadelphia for the summer sitting down batters without breaking a sweat. There are so many stats I could call off, but the World Wide Web might overload. Let's hit Tech first: Jessica is the winningest pitcher in ACC history, and on top of that sat down 1,398 batter's. How many?! Yup, I typed it right. Then in Chicago, she and Jennie Finch schooled the NPF from the circle. Jessica stayed in Chicago for three seasons and left with a 23-16 record overall. As for ERAs: a 2.23 in 2008, 1.34 in 2007 and 1.62 in 2006. What?! Against the best hitters in the game.
I'm telling you, bloggers. If these numbers don't impress you, you can e-mail me and I'll explain them to you. These girls have skills. On top of that, they're great people! These women are the best of the best: well-rounded, beautiful and professional athletes.
What I'm getting to is... come to the camp. Bring your girls out and let them learn from the crem de la crem. Check out the additional information on our site.
I want to sign up! You think I can pass for 15?!
