</tbody></table>The word is getting out about NWIBL! We have 99 fans on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/nwiblfan">Northwest Independent Baseball League Fan</a> Facebook page, a<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nwiblfan/"> flickr</a> page and you can follow games on <a href="https://twitter.com/nwiblfan">twitter</a>. Many of the teams have set up blogs and pages as well. We keep an updated list on the NWIBL Community page of this blog. Check it out!<br />
<br />
Last Sunday over 100 fans came out to Walker Stadium during the day to watch three different games. Jack Conover of the Bulldogs had 15 strike-outs in the last game! And the day before fans over at Scavone saw 3 home runs, bringing in thirty more dollars for one of NWIBL's designated <a href="http://nwiblfan.blogspot.com/p/home-runs-for-cure.html">Home Runs for a Cure</a> charity, JDRF. NWIBL will be donating to three non-profits this year. You can see the latest updates on the NWIBL Cares page of this blog.<br />

</tbody></table>Amidst the on-again, off-again rain, NWIBL fans watched some excellent ball games this weekend at Volcanoes Stadium and Walker Field. 12 year old Hanna Wilson from Vancouver, Washington sang the National Anthem and kicked off the <a href="http://nwibl.org/Teams_2011/2011_Pirates.htm">Pirates</a> vs. the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.201581733214630.46887.200041006702036#%21/profile.php?id=100001053598775&sk=wall">River Hawks</a> rematch. 11 year old Lili Morrisey from Portland, Oregon (director Duane Wangenheim's granddaughter!) threw out the first pitch. <br />
Pirate Matt McCord #27 hit the first home run of the season (that is $10 for the JDRF, thanks Matt!) leading the Pirates to win with a 3-2 victory over the Hawks.<br />
Next, 12 year old Allison O'Neill from Oregon City sang the National Anthem for the <a href="http://nwibl.org/Teams_2011/2011_Flyers.htm">Portland Flyers</a> vs <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.201581733214630.46887.200041006702036#%21/pages/Bridgetown-Thunder/294123707740">Bridgetown Thunders</a>. The game was tied at 2-2 until the Thunders won in the bottom of the 8th with a base hit to left field.<br />
Unfortunately Sckavone Field was rained out on Saturday and the The <a href="http://nwibl.org/Teams_2011/2011_Reds.htm">Rose City Reds</a> vs The <a href="http://nwibl.org/Teams_2011/2011_Titians.htm">Portland Titans</a> game was canceled. Over at Walker Stadium the Vancouver Bandits vs the <a href="http://www.leaguelineup.com/welcome.asp?url=vancouvertwins">Vancouver Twins</a> stuck it out until the game was called in the 5th with a score of 1-0. The <a href="http://nwibl.org/Teams_2011/2011_HIGHLANDERS.htm">Highlanders</a> vs The <a href="http://nwibl.org/Teams_2011/2011_Tigers.htm">Tigers</a> game was rained out as well. We will post the dates for those games when they get rescheduled.<br />

</tbody></table>Sunday the sky was full of dramatic clouds, but they drifted away in time for 11 year old Anna Bishop from Portland, OR to sing the national Anthem and for the <a href="http://nwibl.org/Teams_2011/2011_Circles.htm">Three River Circles </a>vs. the <a href="http://nwibl.org/Teams_2011/2011_Royals.htm">Portland Royals</a>. It was an exciting game: tied until the the bottom of the 5th. The Circles took the lead after a series of great hits to win the game 7-3. Last up was the <a href="http://nwibl.org/Teams_2011/2011_Indians.htm">Indians</a> vs the <a href="http://nwibl.org/Teams_2011/2011_Dodgers.htm">Dodgers</a> which yielded a shattered bat but fortunately no shattered windshields! After a brief 20 minute pause due to a down pour at the top of the 2nd, the sun came out again (only in Oregon!). Daryl Blunt wrapped up the night with a phenomenal play in center field to end game 6-3 Indians.<br />
