Day 1 everything held to form as each district winner won. That set up Taylor County against Washington County and Central Hardin against Larue County. Taylor & Central have been the heavy favorites all season to win the region. Both got shelled in their semi-finals games. Washington County defeated Taylor 8-0 and Larue County defeated Central Hardin 11-0.

Game time for the finals in Greensburg is 7 p.m. eastern for what I think will be a fun competitive baseball game. Larue was a major underdog last season heading into the regional tournament and made a cinderella run to advance to the state. Can they do it again? 

Washington County to my knowledge has never been to the state tournament. Can this team be the first Commader team to play for a state championship?

Congratulations to the Larue County Hawks as they repeat as regional champions in an absolute crazy game. 15 innings, 4-3. The best high school baseball game I've ever seen.
