As head coach Amy Hayes was busy leading her Portland State softball squad to a 31-27 record, she was also undertaking a side project: assembling a team of Northwest all-stars to coach in a game against the U.S. Olympic team that will play in Beijing in August.
The teams will clash at historic Erv Lind Stadium at 7 p.m., July 8. The Portland Metro Softball Association is hosting the Olympic team as it barnstorms across the country in its Bound 4 Beijing pre-Olympics warm-up tour. The game is sold out, with more than 2,000 tickets sold.
