Hokie ClubIt wasn't the pro debut she hoped for as Angela Tincher was roughed up Wednesday night in her first NPF game. Taking on the defending champion Washington Glory, she gave up five runs (including three home runs) in 3.1 innings. On the bright side, she did strike out seven, including reigning league MVP Amber Jackson twice.
As has been a bugaboo in her past, Tincher struggled after a long layoff with her last competitive game coming 11 days ago. But if her past is any indication, she should rebound strongly for the 1-4 Akron Racers.
It's been a whirlwind 48 hours for the Eagle Rock, Va., native. She arrived in Akron on Monday and spent most of Tuesday practicing with her new team and doing interviews in both the Cleveland and Akron markets. The team recognized her before the game for all of her awards this season at Virginia Tech and was even on posters handed out to fans at the game.
Akron and Washington are scheduled to play three more games in this series.Â
