Big win for Expansion Fire—holding Caitlin Clark to just 6 points completely changed the game.

not getting along either.

My son, and Stephanie White were (at one time a long time ago) on the same little league baseball team. That little girl was an amazing ball player. She was our pitcher on the West Lebanon Tigers. I was warming her up one day pre game, playing catch. She set my glove on fire. She had a fast ball for sure.
