MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – An assortment of pulled muscles, tweaked joints, aching ankles and perhaps even a dose of bruised ego came together Thursday evening for the Girls Preparatory School softball team.
They are, after all, the Bruisers, and they shelved the various injuries, climbing back together and crawling all over St. Benedict for a six-inning, 14-4 victory.
The win puts GPS once again in an all-Chattanooga Division II-AA state championship game against Baylor. The game is to commence at 1:30 EDT this afternoon.
“We’re a little banged up but we’re not going to make any excuses. We’ll bring what we have and do what we can do tomorrow,” elated GPS coach Susan Crownover said.
GPS slammed 18 hits, including a second-inning two-run homer from Lilly Burger.
