| Lady Rebels crash Ripley system with road rout | | Posted: Thursday, April 22, 2010 5:43 pm
| If the local baseball and softball fields were computers, there might have been a system overload on Wednesday due to the sheer volume of runs scored.
The Obion Central softball team routed Ripley 13-1.
Casey Russell smacked a grand slam, while Brandi Goodman knocked a three-run homer during that win.
Meanwhile, Dresden was a run better than the South Fulton baseball team in a 21-20 slugfest.
Today’s prep slate (weather permitting) has SF at Obion Central for a 4:30 game.
The only softball game of the evening has OC on the road at Gibson County.
