New Weapons

Newshounds Chief Strategist Brent Birch has secured a mini-arsenal of weapons for this season, including the above Reflex Slow Pitch Softball Bat. Designed with "a forged end with a concave Mother Load™ pre-loaded end cap for added power," the bat boasts alloy construction that includes a "total-peen, anodized finish and an ultra-thin handle with a cushioned grip." And it's mean. Real mean.

Also, we expect word on jerseys any day now. We've been promised they'll be ready by our first game, April 9 at 8 a.m.
