March 19, 2018
On Friday, we traveled to the Chattanooga area for a couple of games, beginning with Franklin County at Chattanooga Christian and finishing the day w/ Lincoln County at Baylor. This was a nice day for baseball, as weather was in the low 60’s before settling into to the low 50’s as the night wore on.
