So, DD gets an email inviting her to play in the CO Sparkler Showcase game. Is this worth doing? Is it a real "showcase" or some sort of money grab or whatever? I did a quick search and didn't find much on here about it and honestly don't know how this came about.

First travel game of the season. Had command of most of her pitches and the drop/rise/mystery pitch made it's return. Went 3 innings struck
out 7. Might need a few more MPH to compete against the big dogs consistently, but a solid start. Thanks to @Mike-Coach Q for some good tips this...
