Spring Fling 2008 Coverage

The Covington Lady Chargers aren't done yet in their hunt for a Class AA state softball title.

Behind a complete-game masterpiece from MTSU signee Tobie Joy, Covington ran past Martin Westview, 9-1.

"If I wanted a daughter, I'd want one just like her," said Lady Chargers coach Martha Lawler. "Athletic-wise and everything."

Covington (35-6) meets the winner of Unicoi County or DeKalb County tonight in yet another elimination game.

In winning their second game of the season against Westview, the Lady Chargers scored three runs in the fourth inning and two runs in both the fifth and sixth.
