 The 14U Babe Ruth All Star softball team from Madison
County brought the big bats to last Saturday's District 4 tour-
nament in Alachua.
 The team exploded for 30 runs in taking the best of three
series, two games to one over the Bell All Stars. After drop-
ping the tourney opener in a close 9-6 game, the Madison
County girls easily won the second contest, 13-3.
 This forced a winner-take-all final, which Madison won,
11-1. In the championship contest, Alexis Sowell was the
pitching star for the locals, throwing a strong game and al-
lowing just one run. Venica Brown delivered the big hits, go-
ing three for four with a home run and two doubles.
 The team was coached by Kelley Jenkins, Joe Morabito,
and Tommy Garner. Team members were: Amanda Brown,
Venica Brown, Brittaney Browning, Randi Lyn Floyd, Becky
Garner, Caitlin Griffin, Emily Hentges, Karagan Hunter,
Courtney Lipford, Lauren Maultsby, Kelsey McGriff, and
Alexis Sowell.
