AMELIA COUNTY, Va. — The Amelia Ponytails All-Star Team won the 2018 Dixie Softball State Championship.

Organizers said the girls worked extremely hard, and were undefeated in the district and state tournaments.

Now the team will represent Virginia in the Dixie Softball World Series in Louisiana.

The team is looking for donations to help cover the travel expenses for the girls and their families.

“We are hoping to raise enough money to offset the cost for each families’ trip,” organizers said. “The World Series begins on July 27th, so we will be accepting donations until August 4th.”
