Dixie Chicks

The Chicks took our show on the road to Virginia Beach for a long hot 4 day tournament and we were perfect. When you play these long double elimination tournaments you have to stay deep in the Winners bracket to win and we did just that going 10-0 for the tournament. We played nearly perfect defense and got some awesome pitching and timely hitting to get the Championship. I was very proud of everyone as we had a total team effort to run off the 10 wins. We have very little time to celebrate as we start Thursday again this week at Virginia Beach and play the next 7 days in a row. We have our hands full playing some really good teams this week but I'm confident these Chicks are up for the challenge. Stats are posted, as always GO CHICKS !!!

The Chicks went on the road for the first time this Summer season to Harrisburg, PA and finshed 3rd going 7-1 for the weekend. We battled rain all day on Friday and I never thought we could play on Saturday after about 4 inches of rain but we started on time and pitched a shutout in all 4 games. We showed a lot of grit coming from down 2 in the 7th inning of the quarter final to tie and eventually winning 5-4 in 10 innings. We then lost in the semi finals in 8 innings 3-1 after being tied 0-0 thru 7 innings. We need to clean up our defense a little this week at practice but overall it was a good performance. Practice is next Sunday at Midlothian High School as we get ready for a very busy July. Stats are posted, as always GO CHICKS!!!

The Chicks got off to a late start this year because of school ball and rain but started strong claiming our 4th State Championship in a row, Even with temps in the 90's and high humidity we outlasted everyone else going 7-0 for the weekend. I'm proud of the young ladies working so hard but we still have a lot to work on and a lot of ball ahead of us. Practice is next Wednesday June 21st at Midlothian High School to get ready for our Pennsylvania trip. Enjoy your Graduations and Beach Weeks Seniors but come back ready to play. Stats are posted. As always, GO CHICKS !!!
