The Fayette County Lady Tiger fast pitch softball team is one step away from winning the area championship. The Lady Tigers defeated Stockbridge, 6-0 on Wednesday night on another stellar performance from Bonnie Bynum. The pitcher recorded 15 strikeouts and gave up two hits in the win. Pamela O'Neal and Katie Gaspierik had two RBIs each while Ashley Logan and Becky Carder drove in one run a piece. The Tigers played the winner of the Stockbridge/Eagle's Landing game yesterday.

Starr's Mill and McIntosh, both knocked into the losers bracket after losses on Monday were eliminated with losses on Tuesday. The Lady Chiefs lost to Evans, 2-1, while Starr's Mill fell to Eagle's Landing, 5-3. East Coweta lost to Stockbridge on Tuesday, 11-2 and then was eliminated from the tournament with a loss to Eagle's Landing on Wednesday evening.

The top four teams from the tournament will advance to the sectionals in Valdosta next weekend.
