The state tournament matchups in baseball and softball have been announced.


Only thing left is for the fortunate teams that have reached the 2018 TSSAA Spring Fling in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, to make a final push toward possible

championships, the most prized trophies in high school sports.


While only two local baseball teams -- Baylor and McCallie -- are in the entire field, Chattanooga produced six softball entrants this year: Class A Sale Creek, Class 3A Ooltewah, Division II-A Chattanooga Christian and Silverdale and Division II-2A Girls Preparatory and Baylor.


The first-round action starts on Tuesday and carries over for other teams on Wednesday morning.
