Big Pitch for Roanoke Valley

The 2010 Coventry Commonwealth Games came to Roanoke beginning with an opening ceremony last Friday night hosted by Olympic Medalist Speed Skater J.R. Celski. The majority of the games followed at venues throughout the Roanoke Valley over the course of the weekend. With 60 sports and an estimated 10,000 athletes, the games bring an economic impact of several million dollars to the area.

Cat Hosfield, a starter for the University of Tennessee (above), pitches a strike as a member of the 23-Under, Virginia-based Renegades competitive fast-pitch softball team. The squad, coached by Botetourt’s Rick Anderson, also includes players from Va. Tech, Radford, Georgia Tech and Florida State. Eighty nine fast pitch teams competed in this year’s games throughout the Valley in numerous age classifications.
