The Chillicothe Lady Hornets Softball team had few problems in winning their own tournament on Saturday. Chillicothe went 2-0 in pool play, then won two more games in bracket play.

Coach Lee Rucker was happy with the 59 total runs scored in the four games.
Rucker said seeing two different styles of pitching in the tournament will help his team.
In the four games combined, the Lady Hornets had 72 hits including 14 doubles and four home runs.
