Two-time All-America shortstop Kristen Brown ’16 added another title to her collection on Aug. 23, as she helped the Chicago Bandits to their second consecutive National Pro Fastpitch Championship, bringing the Cowles Cup back to the Windy City.
Brown went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI in game two of the three-game series against the USSSA Pride, then earned her first professional championship the following night in a 2-1 victory. The 24th overall pick in the 2016 NPF College Draft, Brown slugged .446 with four doubles, five home runs and 11 RBIs in her first professional season with the Bandits.
