Sato saved her biggest performance for Game 5.

She threw a complete-game shutout to win the 5th and deciding game and propel Los Angeles to the inaugural (or first) league championship, becoming the only pitcher in the WPBL to throw a complete game all season.

And that No. 18? It’s not just a number. In Japan, #18 is traditionally given to a team’s best pitcher, which is why Sato wore it throughout the season and why it’s featured in the image.

In her essay in See Her Be Her, Sato wrote:

"Pardon me if I sound like I’m roaring like a lion. A few years ago, my teammates on a pro team decided to do an astrological analysis of each member. I came up as a lion-the Queen of Beasts-someone who is both calm and passionate."

Congrats, Sato!

Just 7 days.

More than 70 years after the final season of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League inspired A League of Their Own, a new chapter is about to begin.

In just one week, the Women's Pro Baseball League takes the field for its inaugural Opening Day, bringing professional women's baseball back to the United States.

The pioneers proved it was possible. This generation gets to carry it forward.

See you on Opening Day. ⚾

Emma Peschel is bringing a championship pedigree to the Big Apple.

Selected 7th overall by the New York Sirens in the 2026 PWHL Draft, the Ohio State defenseman arrives after helping lead the Buckeyes to the 2024 NCAA National Championship and four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.

Over her collegiate career, she appeared in more than 170 games, served as an alternate captain, and developed into one of Ohio State's most trusted defenders. Her skating, ability to break the puck out of the defensive zone, and consistency in all situations made her a key piece of one of the nation's top programs.

Now, she'll look to carry that success into her rookie season with the Sirens.
