Thank you, volunteers, for stepping up each day at multiple locations around town to make the Women's Baseball World Cup happen! Extra thanks for all who included Maybelle Blair in your efforts. Thank you for everything! #BaseballWorldCupW
Day 5 was miserably hot and packing up after a week was no fun. But immediately after the last out, I was ready to cry. We did it. We hosted a successful Women's Baseball World Cup. Less than a year to go until the Finals. Join us in Rockford. #BaseballWorldCupW
Winding down and still a mountain of work to do post-World Cup. But we did it. Cheers, International Women's Baseball Center. #BaseballWorldCupW
Some spots for the 2027 Finals were claimed on Day Four, but we still have a full schedule of games to play on Sunday. Come out to Rivets Stadium today! #BaseballWorldCupW #WomeninBaseballWeek
Over halfway there! #BaseballWorldCupW #WomeninBaseballWeek
Day Two was full of great games and great people. As it turns out, everyone watches women's sports. #BaseballWorldCupW #WomeninBaseballWeek

Finally for Team USA, we tip our cap to the World Cup predecessor, the Women's Baseball World Series, held in the United States in 2002. Al Lang Stadium is now primarily used for soccer. Find all three venues on the wbht.org. 📷Franksgiving, WBHT #BaseballWorldCupW #WBHT

Hosting international tournaments is not for the faint of heart. I'm doing my best though. That muppet with the paper towels is my new role model.

Bracing for the busiest couple of weeks I've had in a while. At least my true friends the pelicans have hung around to back me up.
Thank you all for the birthday wishes. It's been a pretty cool week that included seeing Nancy Faust rock out on the organ, great seats for WNBA, and of course carrot cake. Shout out to Shawn, Lorene, and Brian for hooking me up with fun times. On to the next 48.
IWBC is thrilled to spotlight Bucciferro Family McDonald's as an Official U.S. Sponsor of the WBSC Women's Baseball World Cup! Thank you, Bucciferro Family McDonald's, for helping make sports history happen! #IWBCSponsorSpotlight #BaseballWorldCupW #GoRockford #TheCupComesHome

10 years ago, I was hanging out with Shirley Burkovich at my first IWBC event. Now we're renovating Beyer Stadium, hosting World Cups, and I mention her every time I present on women's baseball. She would love all of this.
In 2018, The U.S. hosted its first Women's Baseball World Cup at USSSA Space Coast Sports Complex in Viera, Florida. Find this stadium at wbht.org. 📷WBSC, WBHT. #BaseballWorldCupW
