Dale’s Lady Pirates hold up the bracket as they celebrate the school’s eighth fastpitch state championship Saturday. Dale beat Warner in the championship game Saturday at Firelake. The game was tied 2-2 in the bottom of the eighth when Holland Herring doubled to drive in Jayse Smith and then scored on a single by Lainey Wilson. Dale pitcher Macy Jones then set the Lady Eagles down in order in the top of the ninth to nail down the win. Photo/Rick Hester
