Madi was invited by the 10 year old Hayden All Stars team to play in the world series tournament in Southhaven Mississippi. That is where I am typing this blog from right now. Madi left on Thursday with her coach from the regular season and they had opening ceremonies at an amphitheater that night. The parade and all other outdoor activites for that night were rained out. They had a dinner for the girls and coaches only, and they swapped pins and goodies alike with other teams from all over the southeast. Needless to say, Madi was in awe for the first couple of days.
At 11am on Friday they played their first game, unfortuneatly they lost 7-1. Because they lost they played this afternoon at 12. They lost that one. The had the next game at 4pm. And again.....they lost. Our team's defense was INCREDIBLE, however the bats just were not there today. I don't know what happened to them. I was however extremely proud of my little girl, as she was the only one who got a hit in every game. Go Madi!!!!!!!!!!!
We drove up this morning and were able to catch both games and spend the day in the blistering sun. Wow was it HOT!! Thanks to Bubba and Mandi, we had a tent to setup and man was it wonderful. I don't know what we would have done without it.
Here are some pictures of Madi and her teammates during the Dizzey Dean World Series 2008. Go Wildcats!!!!
