The Fastpitch Chronicle

Hello Fastpitch Fans, 

The Fastpitch Chronicle Group has compiled a list of what they feel could be the top teams to watch in Division 4 for today’s Bulletin. The Group took a look at the statewide field of Division 4 schools and compiled this list. Certainly there are more teams out there that will prove worthy of being added to this list.

Coaches and conference reps to the WFSCA  All District meetings are urged and encouraged to forward a conference preview soon.

The weather has had an effect of the central two thirds of the state in terms of diamond availability so take a look at the wissports Scores page for games being played today and every day. Three games are listed as completed on yesterday’s slate of games with Mineral Point beating Highland 5-3, Williams Bay beating East Troy 17-8 and in a game between two teams with multiple community names, Weyauwega-Fremont beat Adams-Friendship 4-0. Today’s slate shows a lot of games on the docket.
