Beautiful Bandit Jennie Finch blows one by a befuddled batter.

Ryan Sanders Baseball hosts this five-game, four-day fastpitch softball affair featuring the Chicago Bandits and the USSSA Florida Pride. You may not recognize the team names, but you’ll certainly recognize their star players as two of the top female athletes in the country. Jennie Finch (two-time world champ, gold and silver Olympic medalist, and one of People magazine’s Top 50 Most Beautiful People) will be suiting up for the Chicago Bandits while ex-Longhorn and current legend Cat Osterman (gold and silver Olympic medalist, three-time Collegiate Player of the Year, 2009 National Pro Fastpitch MVP) will lead the USSSA Florida Pride. If that weren’t enough, the rest of the rosters are filled out with fellow Olympians. Fans who donate two canned goods get $2 off their tickets. Chicago vs. Florida: Thu.-Fri., Aug. 12-13, 7pm; Sat., Aug. 14, 6pm (doubleheader); Sun., Aug. 15, 2pm. Dell Diamond, 3300 E. Palm Valley Blvd., Round Rock. $5-10, $30 series pass (discounts for seniors, military, kids). www.roundrockexpress.com.
