After a week of training at the Scrap Yard Sports Complete in Conroe, Texas this week, the fun starts Friday night as the games begin involving players on the USA Softball Women’s National Team and those competing for Scrap Yard Fast Pitch, an independent pro team.
In preparation for international competitions this summer, both USA Softball team rosters–USA Red, which comprises the members of the WBSC World Championship roster, and USA Blue, which includes members who will participate in the Japan All-Star Series–will play exhibition contests against Scrap Yard Fast Pitch
There will be six games between Scrap Yard and USA Softball with one of those being USA Red vs. USA Blue.
It’s not a stretch to believe that many of the players who will participate in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games representing Team USA will be playing this weekend.
Here’s the schedule of games and times (note they are “Texas time”); rosters are below…
