Softball superstar Jennie Finch pitched a complete game shutout on Thursday night, her first day in Nashville for the Diamonds-Bandits series, a four-game series that ends on Sunday.

Finch is of course perhaps the most famous softball player in the world. She's been a member of the USA National Team since 2003 and has become the face of women's pro and amateur softball in the US.

Finch, 30, is a fierce competitor and a charismatic spokesperson for softball and women's athletics.

Originally from So Cal, Finch's family means everything to her. She is married to MLB pitcher Casey Daigle (Astros) and has a two-year-old son. Her parents and two older brothers are very special to her as well.

"I owe everything I am and everything I have to my family," writes Finch on the USA website. "I am, and will forever be, grateful for their love and support."

The Bandits interim coach says that what makes Finch so special is her spirit.

"I think what separates her is her spirit," said Mike Steuerwald, "It's amazing to see her do so much to promote softball, even while having a family and everything."

This week was packed for Finch. She was in Anaheim for the All-Star Celebrity Classic, part of the MLB All-Star week, then flew to Nashville on Thursday morning, and pitched a complete game win Thursday night.
