I know that South and North are the favorites to make the finals, but any darkhorses in this region?

Anything on today's semis?

South and north rolls.

South and north rolls.

 

Figured as much. How much will the bloodletting earlier in the season affect the rematch?

[Les]

this is the best south team I have seen since I've been covering them. They can flat out hit the ball. They bit m'boro 9-0.

This sets up what everyone thought would be the regional title game. I think it will be MUCH closer than last time. The Lady Jags shot themselves in the foot against the Lady Cards last time and when they got down 2-0 and left the bases loaded without scoring, they started free swinging and buried themselves deeper with errors. This should be a classic.
