August 20, 2007 ...       From the PFX Staff

IOWA CITY Tour stop was AMAZING!!! The crowds were fantastic. Friday morning 136 amateurs were inspired by PFX Pros at the Players Clinic. During the Friday night Opening Ceremonies the amateur teams inherently formed a human tunnel that provided an opening for the PFX Pros to run through...hands were slapped; High Fives were given and the roar of the crowd could be heard miles away.

It was so much fun to see all the amateur teams from every age group plus the PFX Pros on the field at the same time. After the ceremonial first pitches and the National Anthem, play began between PFX Red and PFX Blue. The offensive highlights of the first pro game were three home runs by Lisa Fernandez, Jodi Legaspi and Tairia Flowers also stand up doubles by both Natasha Watley and Ashley Monceaux! Randi Berg came up with a huge RBI single to put her team up! The defensive highlights included an amazing catch by both Andrea Duran and Natasha Watley. Not to be out done, three-time Olympic Gold Medalist; centerfielder; Laura Berg throw a bullet to the plate to nail a potential run and help to save her team the victory. All this excitement captivated the crowd of 3100 plus fans. It was so much fun!

The Saturday morning College Skill Showcase Session was packed. There was over 130 amateurs who participated with over 20 college coaches observing their skills. Working through the rain, we all made it happen. Great job to each one of you! It was fun working with you!

The second Pro game was impacted before and after competition by the Pro-Am Skill Challenges of bunting and hitting. With a crowd of over 3300 plus, hundreds of girls shared in the anticipation of whether their name would be called. The hitting challenge was won in dramatic fashion by a towering home run off the HUGE scoreboard in centerfield by Jodi Legaspi's Pro-Am team! Congrats!

The second Pro game provided great offense and defense to entertain the softball fans. Dan Sorensen, Candice Baker and Jenny Ritter lead their teams in the pitching circle! Outstanding performances by the PFX Pros! On Day Three; Amateur Day...every amateur team felt like a winner as Jennie Ritter and myself walked amongst the crowds to watch and meet the young athletes as they prepared for their games.

Everyone who attended the Iowa City Tour stop was truly amazing. Thank you for your support of the PFX Tour and the sport of fastpitch softball. A special thank you to I-Club Organization! You are AWESOME! We hope to see all of you again next year!

Next stop is McKinney, Texas with over 80 teams. Can't wait! Indianapolis...see you soon. Dot
