MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Another stop at Zaxby’s on the trip back up I-24 to the TSSAA Class A softball tournament – and another win.

The commuting Marion County Lady Warriors moved into today’s winners-bracket final with a rain-delayed 6-4 victory over Huntingdon on Wednesday, but only after a second consecutive stop for chicken at the same restaurant.

Marion (36-7) will play Meigs County (38-3) this afternoon after Huntingdon (36-9) faces another Chattanooga-area team, Silverdale Baptist Academy (38-4).

“We had three errors in the first inning – very uncharacteristic – and it put us and (pitcher) Taylor (Roberts) in a very bad spot,” Lady Warriors coach Randy Ellis said. “In clutch time, we came up with some great baserunning.”

Marion also came up with some pretty good defense, especially center fielder Harlie Jordan. She caught a deep fly and then tumbled over the fence, and she also came in to make a diving catch on another Fillies fly.
