  8. Episode 6: Nationals Park Game 2

    Episode 6: Nationals Park Game 2

    Max provides play-by-play for the second game of the public WPBL scrimmage at Nationals Park. The call was made from right behind the backstop in the front row of seats. DISCLAIMER: I did NOT have rosters provided to me in advance with names, jersey numbers, and pronunciations. The league was busy with everything else, which is understandable. I apologize in advance for all mistakes. I still thought it was worth giving it my best to provide the play-by-play for historical and archival purposes. PLEASE do not fill my comment sections with complaints about the above. I hope to eventually broadcast WPBL games with those resources and I promise it will be better. Thanks! :) Photo credit: Fremantle
