Knockouts take tournament title

Last weekend in Cookeville at the Summer Hummer Fast Pitch Girls Softball tournament a local group of girls brought home first place in the 12 and under division.

The Warren County Knockouts won the championship by defeating the Tennessee Legends 12-5 due in part to a big 10 run first inning. Teams from several state competed in the tournament with two Tennessee teams battling it out for the title. The Knockouts had an impressive showing as they produced 78 runs in nine games.

“The tournament success was due to an outstanding team effort of superb pitching and hitting combined with great defense,” said coach Kevin Rowland.

“Our parents and fans gave the team tremendous support during the tournament.”

The Knockouts will be competing in Franklin this weekend with hopes of picking up another title.
