MCMINNVILLE, Tenn. —A spirited effort by the Warren County High School softball team in the District 6-AAA tournament ended Wednesday night with a third-place finish.The Lady Pioneers were one win away from playing for the championship after eliminating Stone Memorial and White County, but the run ended late Wednesday night with a 10-0 loss to Rhea County.Warren County (8-23) was pushed to the brink of elimination last Friday in the opening round when it lost 5-4 in 10 innings to White County, but the Lady Pioneers bounced back to beat Stone Memorial 7-5 Tuesday. Warren County also got its revenge against the Warriorettes with a 4-3 victory Wednesday, though the team didn’t seem to have enough left in the tank to take on the Lady Eagles late Wednesday night in Crossville.While the lopsided loss to end the season stung, Lady Pioneer coach David Upton had nothing but good things to say about his group’s third-place finish in the District 6-AAA tournament.“I was extremely pleased with how our girls played in the tournament,” said Upton. “We fought hard and played really well.
