CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Anyone who thinks Ooltewah isn’t playing better softball in the latter part of the 2014 season compared to the first part should’ve been at Cleveland High School to see the fourth-seeded Lady Owls take on the District 5-AAA tournament’s top-seeded team in a winners-bracket semifinal Saturday morning.
Ooltewah earned an overwhelming 10-1 victory over East Hamilton, which had beat the Lady Owls 10-4 in Ooltewah’s second game of the season.
Second-seeded Soddy-Daisy defeated third-seeded Walker Valley 5-3 in the other semifinal.
Ooltewah (28-9) will take on Soddy-Daisy (30-7) at Cleveland at 7 p.m. Monday. The Lady Trojans won 10-0 and 13-0 in their regular-season meetings.
“My philosophy is every day’s a new day,” Ooltewah coach Jon Massey said. “You never know what’s going to happen.”
