Sequatchie coach Courtney StewartDUNLAP, Tenn. — Sequatchie County got out of a bases-loaded, one-out situation in a tie game in the top of the fifth inning Saturday in the winners-bracket final of the District 7-AA high school softball tournament.
Apparently relieved and relaxed, the host Lady Indians then came in and scored twice and went on to defeat Bledsoe County 4-2.
Afterward, Chattanooga Christian beat Signal Mountain 3-1 with Sarah Hundley pitching a four-hitter and adding a double and two RBIs. Bledsoe’s Lady Warriors then rebounded from the earlier loss and eliminated CCS with a 10-1 victory behind Gabi Holland’s one-hitter.
Sequatchie (33-6) and Bledsoe (26-8) will play for the district championship Monday at 6 p.m. EDT. Another championship game is set for 8, if Bledsoe wins. Both teams have secured berths in the Region 4 tournament scheduled to start May 14.
Bledsoe County had tied the game with two runs the previous inning against Lady Indians starter Ashton Condra, who then gave up a leadoff double to Faith Forgey in the fifth. After a sacrifice bunt, Condra hit the next batter and the decision was made to change pitchers.
