National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) is bringing the best softball players in the nation to Salisbury, Md. May 29-31 as the USSSA FL Pride take on the PA Rebellion in a two-game series at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium. The USSSA FL Pride released their expected line-up last week, but made an exciting addition this weekend by adding Caitlin Lowe.
On a national level, Lowe played for the USA National Team at the Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Lowe recorded the first ever inside the park home-run in Olympic history, and helped her team bring back a silver medal. Lowe is now in her sixth season with the Pride, and is known for both her fielding and batting skills. In the 2013 season Lowe was named to the All NPF team as an Outfielder. In the 48 games she played in during the season, Lowe had a .351 BA, 59 hits, 40 runs, 23 RBI and 16 stolen bases.
