Dixie Chicks

The Chicks went back on the road to Salem for the second time this Fall and claimed another bracket Championship winning both our Sunday games. It was a tough weekend as we played shorthanded again with only 9 players available but we made no excuses and went 3-1-1 against some pretty solid competition. We will eventually get everyone healthy and I expect our team will get even better. We are still playing well but we have way more upside. The young ones are getting better every time out.  It seems like we just got started but we only have 3 weekends of ball left for this Fall season. Practice is Sunday at 12:00 at Midlothian High School. Nice job ladies, see you Sunday. Stats are posted, as always GO CHICKS !!!

The Chicks took our show on the road again this past weekend to sunny Rock Hill, SC and played some really good teams with solid pitching and put up a respectable 3-2 record. We had some really good moments and we had a few down moments but as a whole I think we are improving each week. We have a lot of new faces and it takes time to gel and get to know each other. I think the more we play and the girls getting to hang out more will make us better quickly. We were shorthanded this week with a couple players out but we made no excuses. We will keep working hard to get better. Enjoy your weekend off as we head back to Salem in a couple weeks. Practice is next Wednesday, Oct. 4th 6:45 at LC Bird. Stats are posted, as always GO CHICKS !!! 

The newest version of the Chicks started the Fall in Salem, Va. this past weekend and even with all the new faces the Chicks looked really good winning all 5 games we played. We faced some really good competition, I'm proud of how the team is starting to come together in such a short period of time. We still have a lot to work on but we are getting better every time out. We need to continue to work hard as this weekend in Rock Hill doesn't get any easier. Next practice is Wednesday at LC Bird at 6:45. Nice job ladies, stats are posted. As always, GO CHICKS !!!

The Chicks went on the road for the last time this season to Myrtle Beach for Triple Crown Nationals and played as well as we have all season winning 8 games in a row to get to the Championship. We then fell 1 run short losing 1-0 in 8 innings to close out our season. It was still a great year for our girls going 46-3 claiming mulitple titles, winning State Championship and NSA Class A World Series and a very respectful 2nd place finish out of 80 teams in Nationals only getting beat by the University of Kentucky's incoming pitcher this fall. It's always tough when Nationals is over because reality sinks in for the seniors going off to college and for myself that this is the last time we will be together on the field. I love every player as they were my own and will miss them all immensely. This 2017 group of seniors are all off to college in a couple weeks to play ball and I expect big things from them all. I'm only a phone call away if you need anything and I will be coming to see some games when I can. Rule 3 will start to become more important as you get older, remember it!  This team won a lot of ball games but everyone put team first and that made it a very successful season. Practice for next season begins August 13th at Midlothian High School. It's hard for me to believe but it will be my 22nd year, I guess time really does fly when you are having fun. Final Stats are posted. As always, GO CHICKS !!!

Our Chicks finished a week straight of ball in impressive fashion going 14-1 and claiming a World Series victory in the process. Our week started last Thursday in hot and humid Va. Beach in the PGF Summer Showcase as we went 7-0 and made it to the Sweet 16 round on Sunday before getting canceled on Sunday from overnight rain, then we started pool play for World Series on Monday in Williamsburg. We played almost flawless ball until this morning before we got beat in the final of the Winners bracket. We then had to battle all day in more high 90's heat and humidity and battle we did, winning the losers bracket final and then beating the Connecticut Legends twice to claim a World Series Championship. I was super proud of these young ladies as we were down a couple players, made no excuses and still claimed Championship hardware. You need total team efforts to claim Championships and that is certainly what we had all week. We got great pitching and defense and some timely hitting. Our season record now stands at 38-2 with only Triple Crown Nationals left next week in Myrtle Beach, SC. We start play on Wednesday, July 26. I will see everyone there. Great job ladies, as always GO CHICKS !!!
