WPBL update: *incredible* catch from center fielder Gabriella Haas of the Boston Hunters here. (They’re getting blown out right now, but some great plays in the field.)
Even baby Gigi is gonna cuss her out for missing that wide open goal
Can we cut the Friday Night Lights-esque music and get the energy up? Pleaseeeee I’m dying
