With each team having seven games under their belts, the Women’s Pro Baseball League is back in action for week four for another action-packed Wednesday-Sunday slate of games at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Ill.

The San Francisco Firebells are currently in first place at 5-2 with the Los Angeles Queens close behind at 4-3. The Boston Hunters (3-4) are in third, while the New York Heights are in last at 2-5. Considering each team has three games over the five days, there are lots of chances to shake up the standings.

WEEK 4️⃣!!

EVERY team goes head-to-head this week!

We're especially looking forward to Saturday's doubleheader, which will see San Francisco play Boston and New York play LA for the first time since Opening Weekend!

Up first, the Firebells will take on the Heights tonight. They have split their two games against each other so far with the Heights winning game one 13-8 on Aug. 6, while the Firebells took game two 11-6 on Aug. 15. New York is led by Denae Benites, who leads the league with seven homers, 20 RBI and 12 runs scored. Kelsie Whitmore leads San Francisco with six homers, 16 RBI and 11 runs scored.

Expect some firepower in this one. The only question is, will Benites or Whitmore homer first?

First Pitch: 5:30 p.m. MDT
