0722OliviaShaw — Olivia Shaw, of Buford, poses as she receives a trophy from Harold Reynolds after winning the national championship in the 9-10 year-old girls division of the MLB Pitch, Hit and Run program July 14 at the T-Mobile All-Star FanFest in Cincinnati.

Get out the screwdrivers: Olivia Shaw needs room to figure out how she’s going to organize the new gifts she received last weekend in Cincinnati. Shaw, 10, said she’ll need her parents, John and Tracy, to help construct a new shelf in her Buford home to display a national championship trophy she earned July 14 for taking first place at a MLB Pitch, Hit and Run program during All-Star Week. “It’s going to be hard,” said Shaw, laughing.
