After handily winning all of their games at last Saturday's Play Day in Chapel Hill, the Forrest Lady Rockets will travel to the newly opened Ridley Park in Columbia this Saturday where they will join the Marshall County Tigerettes for a full day's action on the softball diamond. The two intra-county squads will not play each other in their four contests that will last an hour and a half each. At 9 a.m. the Lady Rockets (22-7-1, 2011 season) will face 3A Dickson County (21-18-1), while MCHS (24-14) takes on Class-A Summertown (28-7-1).

After defeating Westwood 11-1 in their season opener, the FMS Lady Rockets posted a 13-3 run rule win over intra-county rival Cornersville on Thursday at the Field of Dreams in Chapel Hill. "We started working hard from day one and we wanted this one bad," said FMS head coach Bunky Elmore. "But, we have a lot of work to do, the season is still young and we have to keep going and keep improving."
