The 4-AAAA

regional softball tournament was held last week, with

only a few delays due to inclement weather. The McIntosh

Lady Chiefs entered the tournament knowing that one of

their toughest games would be in their inevitable meeting

with the Fayette County Lady Tigers. The two teams had

split during the season.

McIntosh's

first opponent was LaGrange, a team they disposed of

early by a score of 11-0. Their next game went the

distance, all seven innings. McIntosh had led the game

until the seventh when Stockbridge overtook the Lady

Chiefs and won, 5-4.

East Coweta

put up some resistance to McIntosh in their third game,

as the game remained scoreless until the sixth inning.

Abby King and Megan Mulcahy were able to generate some

offense in the sixth and drive home both Ashley Darrow

and Britt Hardy. McIntosh won by a score of 2-0.

The next

opponent for the Lady Chiefs was their biggest rival

aside from Fayette County: Lovejoy. Brooke King took the

mound for the Chiefs and actually drove in the first run

for the team. Candace Moore hit a triple that drove in

two RBIs, followed by an RBI single by Hardy. McIntosh

scored another run in the sixth on a passed ball and won

the game 5-3.

McIntosh

then got a rematch with Stockbridge, and they would not

take the game lightly. The Lady Chiefs got some offensive

production from sophomores Mulcahy and third baseman Kim

Jenkins, each with three RBIs. Freshman Renae Clark also

drove in three runs, as McIntosh rolled 10-0. The win put

them in the championship game where they would face the

Fayette County Lady Tigers. The two teams played very

well, but McIntosh's bats were quieted and they lost 2-0.
