It was a great night for the Hopkins County Dixie Darlings, in Commerce, Wednesday night, as they stepped up to the plate and "blew away" the competition, to win the State Softball Championship. The Darlings defeated Pineland in a 23-1 decision, in three innings, as they earned the right to compete at nationals in South Carolina, beginning July 27th.
