Congratulations goes out to our ladies for winning the USSSA National World Series Qualifier Tournament hosted at the Field of Dreams tourney in Green Bay, WI.  With the tournament win, our ladies earned a berth and the right to represent Wisconsin at the USSSA National World Series in Kansas City, KS!! 

The team went 6-1 on the weekend and outscored the opposition 38-14.  During Saturday's pool play, the girls outlasted the WI Elite 2-1, then quickly beat the Racine Belles 10-0 in 3 innings (incl. a 235' home run blast by Raven VandenLangenberg ) to earn the #2 overall seed.  Entering the double-elimination bracket play, we again beat the Racine Belles 9-0, then Green Bay Preble 8-4.  On Sunday, we beat the very solid #1 seed Fox River Rush 4-1 (Syd LaPoint pitched a 1-hitter to limit the Rush's offense).  On Sunday evening we played the Rush again, this time they got us 7-4.  Since this was our first loss of the tourney, we got another chance to win the Championship immediately after - and in doing so both teams played their hearts out and we witnessed the best game of the tournament.  The girls dug deep and came out on top this time, winning the 7 inning grudge match 2-1 to take the tourney Championship and earn a National World Series berth!  A ton of credit goes out to our defense for their solid performance diving for balls and turning double plays when we needed them the most.  Our girls have worked so hard over the past four years together, it's wonderful to see everything coming together and witnessing their successes individually and as a team!!  This is the 5th tournament championship in a row for our program this season - we are so very proud of you girls!!

*** And a special congrats as well to our Sydney LaPoint for being awarded the All-Tournament MVP!!! by the tournament staff, opposing coaches, and umpiring crew.
