Our friend Keith Groller posted this today:
“The New York/New Jersey Comets have announced two home games to be played at Coca-Cola Park, home of The Lehigh Valley IronPigs, in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The games will be played on Wednesday, June 19th, and Thursday, June 20th, at 7:00 PM against the Akron Racers.
Michael Neuwirth, Owner/General Manager for the Comets, said: “We are thrilled to be bringing Professional Softball to the Lehigh Valley Area for the first time this summer. We are very much looking forward to connecting with fans at the stadium and hope that this will be a great opportunity for the Comets to solidify a presence in the region.”

I did a little snooping around, National Pro Fastpitch’s website is still on my Favorites list, and found the Comet’s website.
