All the young ladies contributed to the success of the tournament. The team hit the ball well with a batting average of 319 and an on base percentage of 443. The high on base percentage was the result of some smart hitters that find a way to get on base.
Every one of the team members had a hit or a sacrifice. The solid pitching and smart offense exhibited by the players led to the success of the team.
South Georgia Heat was formed in October 2007, they have learned a lot and made great improvement in tournament ball over the past nine months as demonstrated by recent wins. Coach Chad Bennett and Coach Chris Simpson are very proud of all of the young ladies.
