The local stars, who were coached by Steve Harvey, Donnie Christian and Rick Bond, had reached the finals by downing Cookeville 3-2 in the opening round, then topping Overton County 5-3 in the semifinals.
Logan Seamons got the win in a relief appearance in last Saturday?s championship game, coming on in favor of starter Mark Harvey, who worked four innings and got a no-decision.
The game-wining runs came in the top of the seventh inning, when with two outs Cameron Bond tripled to plate Dakota Taylor and Harvey, both of whom had reached via two-out singles.
Taylor, Harvey and Bond had two hits each to lead the way for Warren County, while Patrick Harvey, Logan Seamons, Beck Spurlock, Dylan Fernandez and Lake Kirby had a hit apiece.

Patrick Harvey had two hits in the winning cause, while Seamons, Taylor, Mark Harvey, Bond, Fernandez and Kirby had one hit apiece.
? Against Overton County, Taylor pitched seven innings, recording 12 strikeouts. Hayden Hill took the loss for Overton.

The 14-year-olds traveled to Lebanon this weekend, for the Mid ?A? Tennessee Area Tournament. They took on Lafayette on Friday night, and with a win were slated to face Giles County today at noon. A loss on Friday night would land them in a Saturday afternoon game against either Tullahoma or Lebanon.
