WPCNR PRESS BOX. August 14, 2004: The Juggernaut won their second straight shutout over the California Sunbirds before 478 fans in Stockton, California Friday evening as Gina Oaks (11-8) regained her form whitewashing the Birds on 3 hits. The Nauts plated 4 runs in the first three innings off Cindy Ball(1-3), taking advantage of 4 Sunbird miscues and moved to 34-21 on the season, with five games to play. Kellie Wilkerson sparked the Nauts at the plate. The Juggernaut close out the three-game set this evening in Stockton, and head to Tucson, Arizona Sunday to complete the National Pro Fastpitch regular season, and return home to prepare for the playoffs.
Who they will face in the first round of NPF Playoffs is in doubt because the New England Riptide snapped the Thunder's four game winning streak last night while the Akron Racers won, moving the Racers within one game of the first place Thunder, with both teams having six games left.
