North will cruise to the finals. Rebecca Riley will do just fine at shortstop and Abbey Proffitt will be fine at third base. The key is Vires. it's going to be interesting to see who Burns throws. I'd going with the Texas girl as long as possible. South Laurel's 1-3 hitters have been impressive all year. If they can get on and Powenski and Lawson comes through at the plate then South can win the region again. Defense is key, too.
