Coaches Shannon and Lilo 
Great Tournament Ladies - Thank You! 

The Mad River Mist's 14u girls stepped up and played great ball in last weekend's Summer Sizzler Tournament held in Medford, OR.  Highlights included Karlie Murray's solo over-the-fence home run, excellent pitching, several quality infield defensive plays and some amazing catches in the outfield!  In addition, the Mist beat a team 8-2 in the semifinals that had beat them 8-2 earlier in the tournament.  Way to come back girls!  The Championship game was fantastic to watch....  close to the end, with the girls hitting the ball and consistently making tough plays on defense.  It was a great game from start to finish! 

The 14u Mist also received rave compliments from the umpires at the end of the tournament for their good sportsmanship.  As Board Members of the Mad River Girls Fastpitch Association, we were especially proud of the girls that after receiving their team trophy and medals and on their own initiative, walked over to the Chico Team's "celebration" and congratulated and shook the hands of several of their players, coaches, and even parents.  What a classy way to represent our organization, our many sponsors, and Humboldt County as a whole!    We are very proud of you girls!
