The Russell County Lakers now know their opponent for the 4th Region championship game.
Warren East defeated Clinton County 9-0 yesterday in their region semifinal game to set up a rematch from earlier this season, this time with a region title on the line.
Russell County and Warren East played each other on April 30, a 10-9 victory for the Lakers.
In that game, senior Camden Carpenter hit a walk-off single for the victory with two outs in the bottom of the seventh. The Lakers used six pitchers in the game, and senior Cody Luttrell pitched the final inning and picked up the win.
Originally slated to begin at 5 tonight, the region championship has been moved back to 7:30 p.m. at Western Kentucky University’s Nick Denes Field.
