Professional Fastpitch Softball Returns to Indiana's Bosse Field

Evansville's historic Bosse Field is the site for a lot of exciting sporting moments throughout the year. Of course, it is home to the Evansville Otters, but it is also the home field for several EVSC high school baseball teams. Bosse Field will also, from time to time, host special events like a charity Wiffle ball tournament or games with the Highland Baseball Challenger League. This July, Bosse Field will host another great sporting event that you won't want to miss - Women's Professional Fastpitch Softball.

This Ain't No Beer League

I've been on a bunch of recreational softball teams (aka Beer League) over the years, and we certainly had a good time, but if you want to see some REAL softball, then you really need to check this out. The USSSA Pride return to Evansville for a 3-game series against the Smash It Sports Vipers. This is just the second time the Pride have come to Evansville - they played in front of 4,000 last year - and I promise you'll have a new appreciation for fastpitch softball after seeing the pros play in person.

Series Details

The games are scheduled for July 12, 13, and 14 at 7:30 pm each night. The series is part of the inaugural Women's Professional Fastpitch Exhibition Season, and it also coincides with a HUGE weekend of youth softball in the Evansville area. The USSSA Great Lakes Nationals will bring over 220 youth softball teams to town that same week (July 11-16).

See How Downtown Evansville Has Changed Over the Years

I find looking back on the way things used to be fascinating. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I'm living through the current time period. The conveniences of answering any question we have in seconds, or ordering practically anything we want or need and having it delivered to our doorstep is pretty sweet. But, there is something fun about seeing how things around us have evolved. As an Evansville native, and spending quite a bit of my time in downtown Evansville (that's where the station is located), I've always appreciated the older architecture of the buildings around the area. So, I dug into the Willard Library Archives to see how a few of those areas look now compared to then. Some have changed a little, others quite a bit, and a few don't even exist any more. Take a look.
