Margie Makes a Difference - Lady Tigers, #2

The Lady Tigers are all about being a team. From the very first tryout, Margie, Trish, Sally and Nikki, with the help of their coaches, found they were a force to be reckoned with. But like all teams, the girls find that even the highs of winning cannot crush the painful lessons of hardship both on and off the field. When Margie's dad is called away to serve his country, the Lady Tigers must band together to make a difference in the lives of military kids on the base.
But will their efforts be a success or a big strike out? Margie loves playing travel, fastpitch softball with the Lady Tigers. Her teammates become her second family. When her dad deploys to Afghanistan with the Air Force, Margie decides that she wants to do something special to take her mind off missing him. She and her friends put together a baseball/softball camp for the younger kids of the other parents that have deployed.
The first one is such a success that they are asked to do it again. This time, the Lady Tigers pull out all the stops. Using technology, they are able to stream the sports camp so the parents in Afghanistan can stay involved in their kids' lives, even when apart. This is especially important to 8-year-old Jake, whose mother is a pilot deployed with the unit. Jake learns the importance of what his mother is doing and why she has to be away from him.
The Tigers learn that working with others is a fun way to support the military and their families at home.
