The Franklin County Dixie Belles all-star team captured the 2009 District II softball title in five innings of tournament play with a 17-7 win over Marianna Wednesday night at Optimist Park in Marianna, Florida.The win earned Franklin County a trip to the Florida State Dixie Belles Tournament to be held in Brooksville, Florida on July 2.
With only a two-team bracket in the Belles division, Franklin County felled short in the first game held Monday night after being routed 16-6 by Marianna.
Facing possible elimination, Franklin County held off an aggressive Marianna team in a nail biter on Tuesday by a score of 17-15 to setup the district championship game on Wednesday.
To help fund their trip to State, the District Champs are asking for financial support from the Franklin County community.
The Belles will be asking for donations in front of the Grill Restaurant in Apalachicola tomorrow June 26, and selling water and peanuts on St. George Island Saturday, June 27. Also on Saturday, the group will be bagging for bucks at the Carrabelle IGA.
