News and Announcements
The Chicks went on the road to Annandale this past weekend and went 4-1 in our first tournament of Summer. We played really well most of the weekend but some uncharacteristic mistakes in our last game on Sunday got us sent home earlier than expected. We did hit the ball extemely well and being we have had only two practices under our belt we didn't do bad. I expect better results real soon and I know the girls expect better also. We have practice this Wednesday and we have quite a few things to work on and we need to work hard to get ready for the NSA State Championship next weekend in our only hometown tournament of the Summer. We will be a little shorthanded with graduations and other senior activities. That means we need everyone to step up and work hard this week. See you Wednesday, Stats are posted. As always, GO CHICKS !!!

Wingate, N.C.----Wingate University freshman first baseman Amy Wingfield
(Mechanicsville, Va.) has been named the South Atlantic Conference
softball Player of the Week, league officials announced Monday.
Wingfield led the Bulldogs to a doubleheader sweep over GRU Augusta in
Saturday's season-opening doubleheader.
Wingfield went two-for-three in the doubleheader, hitting .667 with two homers, two RBI and four runs scored. She hit a homer in each game for Wingate, while going perfect in the field, notching seven putouts and an assist without an error in the two victories.
In her first collegiate at-bat, Wingfield lined the first pitch she saw over the fence in left to give Wingate a 1-0 lead over GRU Augusta. Wingfield's second homer of the season came leading off the second inning of game two. She also drew a walk in the fourth inning, then scored a run to help the Bulldogs win 6-5 to complete the doubleheader sweep.
The Bulldogs return to action Wednesday, hosting Erskine for a doubleheader at 1 p.m. Wingate travels to Columbus, Ga. this weekend for the Columbus State Tournament. The Bulldogs will face Pfeiffer and Columbus State Saturday, then take on King and Belmont Abbey on Sunday.
Skylar Toth will continue her softball career at Randolph Macon. Skylar has been weighing her options for awhile and finally decided to play in the center of the universe in Ashland, VA and now she will be a yellow jacket starting next fall. I'm sure she will enjoy her 4 year experience there and I know she will make us proud. Great job kid and we all wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors.

The Chicks went back on the road for the final time of 2013 and closed out our fall winning 4 games, losing 1 and tying 1 in the Early Signing Showcase in beautiful Myrtle Beach, SC. We couldn't have had much better weather with temperatures in the 70's both days. We got some big performances from everyone at one time or another and finished the Fall with a 22-7-1 record. We finished the Fall with a gawdy .416 team batting average and scoring 215 runs and only giving up 81. I'm sure the girls are looking forward to some down time from softball as they have all been going strong at it since February. I am looking forward to some time off also but I'm sure I will be missing it in a couple weeks. I will be wandering around looking for something to occupy my weekends. I had a great time this season and I hope all the girls and parents did also. I think we have a really good team and next Summer should be a blast. Enjoy your break from Softball and I hope to see everyone at the Christmas party in December. Final stats are posted, as always GO CHICKS !!!

Kiandra Mitchum, Sydney Wells and Brandi Tester are all headed to Christopher Newport University to continue their softball careers. All 3 girls committed this past week and now they can relax and just play ball. I am sure they will all enjoy the CNU experience as it is a great school with a great college atmosphere. CNU is always in contention for the College World Series and I'm sure they will all contribute and help the program continue their winning ways. I'm very proud of all these young ladies. They have worked hard and deserve to play for a great school. Have fun and make the Chicks family proud.
