Lady Tigers reach District 5-AA finals
DECATUR - McMinn Central's Faith Grosch pitched well in the District 5-AA winners' bracket finals. Unfortunately for the Chargerettes, Meigs County's Morgan Boggess was even better and had considerably more help from her supporting cast. Boggess allowed just four baserunners and retired 16 Chargerettes in a row at one point. Meanwhile, the defense behind the sophomore hurler didn't make an error until the seventh inning and the offense produced enough hits to give the Lady Tigers a 6-0 victory. |
