CORBIN — Jackson County had 50th District champion South Laurel on the ropes the entire game during Monday’s 13th Region Softball Tournament, and eventually stunned the Lady Cardinals with a 3-2 eight-inning win.
The two teams had met on April 4, with Carly Mink’s Lady Cardinals (26-6) coming away with an 18-5 win, but things were different Monday.
