MURFREESBORO (May 24) -  McKenzie Rebels baseball advances to round 2 of the TSSAA Class 1A state tournament after defeating University School - JC by a score of 10 to 3. 

Jake McDaniel, a senior and signee with Bethel baseball, hit a grand slam in the top of the third, scoring  Hayden Hixson, Brayden Birmingham,  and Collin McClearen. 

A four-run third inning and a six-run sixth inning topped University School, who initially took a two-run lead with a score in the first and second inning and adding one in the fifth inning.

McKenzie faces a familiar name Wednesday as the opponent from the neighboring county is always in the mix for the men's sports in the playoffs.

McKenzie ended Trenton's season in football in the sectional round, Trenton ended McKenzie's season in basketball in the first round of the state tournament, and now the teams meet in the second round of baseball.
