The first game will be between the Los Angeles Queens and New York Heights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The San Francisco Firebells are scheduled to begin their season on Sunday against the Boston Hunters. Left-hander Niki Eckert is scheduled to start for the Firebells, with right-hander Ma\u00efka Dumais scheduled to start for Boston.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">As of right now, the WPBL website does not have streaming information available. Earlier this week, I saw that ESPN was in the process of setting up a streaming deal for at least some of the games, so that might be why they have not updated that just yet. Keep an eye on the WPBL\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womensprobaseballleague.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a> for more updates on that front.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">In the meantime, here is the schedule for the Firebells for the first week of the season:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Sunday, August 2nd @ Boston &#8211; 4:30 p.m. PT<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Monday, August 6th vs. New York &#8211; 4:30 p.m. PT<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Tuesday, August 7th @ Los Angeles &#8211; 4:30 p.m. PT<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Wednesday, August 8th vs. Los Angeles &#8211; 4:30 p.m. PT<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">As a reminder, all games are being played at a \u201cneutral\u201d location (neutral to the East Coast teams, maybe) at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois. So if any of you are local to that area (or want to travel), tickets are still available for Sunday\u2019s season opener for the Firebells.<\/p>\n<p>What time do the Giants play today?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The San Francisco Giants continue this four-game road series against the San Diego Padres tonight at 6:45 p.m. PT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Good morning, baseball fans!
