Silverdale Baptist Academy earned the first TSSAA Division II-A East District 2 softball title, although it took two games Tuesday at Chattanooga Christian.
CCS edged the Lady Seahawks 8-7 in the first game of the finals, but Silverdale bounced back in a big way with a 17-4 victory in six innings.
Both teams, along with Boyd-Buchanan and Grace Academy, will move on to the East Region tournament. The latter portion of that also will be held at CCS next week.
Silverdale (22-6) had three big innings in the second game, starting with a five-run second. The Lady Seahawks broke things open with a four-run fifth and a seven-run sixth. They had two hits in each of those innings.
SBA’s slugging leadoff batter, Kaili Phillips, was intentionally walked all 10 plate appearances in the two game – six coming in the second game when she scored four runs after scoring three times in the first game. Cleanup batter Skylar Sheridan was the recipient of six intentional walks on the night but went 3-for-3 the times the Lady Chargers pitched to her, including a grand slam in the second game.
