The Chicks took our show on the road for a long hot 4 day trip to Rock Hill, SC and brought home our 3rd Championship in a row this Summer in the Carolina Cardinals East Coast Fireworks. This was a tough format as 78 teams started the tourney on Thursday and only the top 23 even got a chance to play on Sunday in the Championship Elimanation round. We made our way in and won 4 straight on Sunday to claim another Championship. We showed a lot of guts as we fell behind in the quarter finals, the semi finals and the Championship game and found ways to win them all. They were all 1 run games and the semis took 2 innings of ITB to get the win. It took a total team effort to win this tournament and we got some great play from every player on the team at one time or another. These ladies are warriors and I couldn't be prouder of them. Our record for the season now stands at 20 wins 2 losses and 1 tie. We have practice on Thursday at Midlothian to get ready for our next road trip in Virginia Beach July 9-12 in the ASA Elite Showcase. Stats are posted, as always GO CHICKS !!!

Our Chicks played in States this past weekend and did not disappoint as we went 6-0 and claimed the State Championship for the second straight year. After a tie in the first game of the season we have ran off 12 straight wins to run our record to 12-0-1 for the Summer and 2 Championships. It was a brutal hot few days with heat indexs over 100 and the girls never faltered. Staying in the winners bracket the whole way certainly helped to win the tournament. We had some great pitching and defense and big hits from multiple players. It was another great team effort, I'm very proud of how we are playing with just limited practices but we need to keep working hard and improve every week, we have some tough games coming up in Rock Hill in a couple weeks and we need to be at our best. Stats are posted, as always GO CHICKS !!!

The Chicks got the 2015 Summer Season started on the right track with a Championship in the USA Elite Select Showcase in Annandale, VA. We started a little shaky in our first game but got on track after that posting 6 straight wins all in shutout fashion. We were shorthanded and had some injuries but everyone stepped up and we took home the hardware going 6-0-1 for the weekend. I am proud of the girls, the played hard all weekend and left the field worn out and dirty but still Champs. We don't have much recovery time as we start again Friday night in States. See you at practice on Wednesday, Stats are posted. As always, GO CHICKS !!!
