LOUISA —Lawrence County Lady Dawgs 8u All-Star softball team competed in the Ohio Valley Regional tournament in Louisville, last Thursday (June 29) in hopes of coming home with a regional championship title.

Despite battling the rain for three days, they fought to the end with a 4-3 win over Fern Creek Black, which was a game that lasted until 2 a.m., that morning due to rain delays. That win landed them a spot in the championship game against Fern Creek Orange.

The girls came home with a regional runner up title, due to the championship game being canceled for rain.

They are the first LC 8u softball team to have made it to the championship game of a regional tournament.
