I'm not sure, they may have. The 11th region has had the baseball tournament on iHigh but not the softball so I have only been able to find the Franklin County score on Twitter.

RICHMOND — It took extra innings, a pair of miscues and Maddie Mullin's speed for No. 8 Scott County to escape with a 2-1 win over Madison Southern on Monday in the 11th Region softball tournament at Eastern Kentucky University's Gertrude Hood Field.
The Cardinals advanced to Tuesday's semifinals to take on Woodford County, an 8-0 winner over Tates Creek. The other semifinal pits Madison Central versus Franklin County.
Scott County struck quickly in its game. Leadoff hitter Mullin hit a routine ground ball in the bottom of the first and circled the bases when the ball was thrown away.
Though the Cardinals pounded out 11 hits in the game, they wouldn't score again until eight innings later.
Madison Southern managed three hits, all singles, in the first six innings, but all three runners were erased trying to reach second base. Two were caught stealing and one tried to stretch a single into a double.
"We had two missed signs early on," said Madison Southern Coach Brian Foley. "I like the aggressiveness, but it's just one of those things."
Meanwhile, Scott County was getting base runners but not getting them home.
"We just couldn't string anything together," said Scott County Coach Scott Walker. "They did a good job working the ball in and out on us and took us out of our hitting patterns."
The Eagles finally pushed across a run in the seventh to tie it 1-1.
Madison Southern's Morgan Grubb became the first Eagle to reach second base, taking a pitch off her left leg to reach first and then advancing on a groundout. Eagles shortstop Aleecia Broughton drove her home with a chopper that went over Scott County pitcher Marlee Tevis' head and dribbled into center field.
The Cardinals broke through with the winning run in the bottom of the ninth.
After two quick outs, Mullin singled and stole second. Scott County's Michal Luckett hit a grounder to shortstop and when the ball was bobbled, Mullin scooted home with the winning run.
"It was hit soft and Maddie is one of the fastest runners on the team," Walker said. "Maddie just got such a good jump at second base. Her speed paid off there. You can't teach that."
Tevis pitched a complete-game five-hitter for the Cards.
"Our defense was absolutely solid," Tevis said.
Walker was happy to see his team advance, but he said the Cardinals must play better to reach the championship.
"We have to hit better and be more patient at the plate. It's the regional tournament. You have to play each pitch like it's the last," Walker said.

Woodford County 8, Tates Creek 0: The Yellow Jackets scored five runs on six hits in the first inning and coasted.
Rachel McCoy went the distance for Woodford County, allowing four hits.
"Rachel did an excellent job in the circle," Woodford Coach Valdez Floyd said.
The Yellow Jackets pounded out 14 hits.
"We broke out hitting the ball and played some solid defense," Valdez said.
Scott County defeated Woodford County 8-4 in late March.
"Our game has been getting better and we look for it to be a real shootout," Valdez said.

Madison Central 5, Henry Clay 1: A big first inning and quality starting pitching led Madison Central in the opening quarterfinal.
The Lady Indians' Mackenzie Wilder went the distance, striking out six while allowing four hits.
"She's a freshman and she has been pitching awesome," said Madison Central Head Coach Daniel Rogers.
Wilder also caught a scorching liner up the middle for the first out in the seventh inning.
"That kind of made me nervous," Wilder said. "But I got it."
Madison Central capitalized on two Blue Devils errors and a pair of walks to plate three runs on just one hit in the first inning.
"That was a good win to get on to the next round," Rogers said. "Now we want to get over the hump and make it to the championship game."
Franklin County 4, Paul Dunbar 3: The Lady Flyers were led by the arm and the bat of sophomore Kara Howard.
"She showed some good poise and good leadership for us today," said Franklin County coach Tracy Spickard. "She came through with a huge hit in the third inning to get us on the board."
Howard had two hits, scored two runs and pitched three innings.
"I've been struggling a little bit lately with my swing, so today will give me some confidence for the rest of the regional," Howard said.
The Flyers allowed nine hits and committed three errors, but they made crucial plays in the field to hold on to the one-run lead late in the game.
"They made the big plays when they had to," Spickard said of his team. "They play with a lot of heart and determination. Those kids are fun to watch and coach."

RICHMOND — Madison Central and Scott County advanced to the championship game of the 11th Region softball tournament with wins Wednesday at Eastern Kentucky University's Gertrude Hood Field.
Thursday's championship will be at Madison Southern after the field at EKU was unavailable because of a Special Olympics event. The semifinals and finals were pushed back a day by Tuesday's rainout.
On Wednesday, Scott County played up to its No. 8 state ranking, defeating Woodford County 11-2.
"That was a great team game," said Scott County Coach Scott Walker. "Our defense was strong."
The Cardinals put five runs on the board in the second inning, and pounded out 14 hits in the game.
"That was about as good of an inning as we can play," Walker said. "In key situations today, we didn't chase."
Shortstop Michal Luckett went 3-for-4 with four RBI to lead Scott County.
"I felt pretty confident up there," Luckett said. "I was just trying to ease into my swing and not trying to jump out of my shoes to hit the ball."
Starting pitcher Marlee Tevis pitched six innings, scattering seven hits and allowing two runs.
"It's good to know you have a solid defense behind your back," Tevis said. "That's probably one of the main reasons I am able to put the ball across the plate."
She also contributed two hits and two RBI.
"Everybody was confident today, and that spreads like a wildfire," Tevis said. "We swung at our pitches, not theirs."
Tevis pitched nine innings Monday and six more Wednesday, but she said she feels ready for the championship game Thursday.
Walker said his team will have a tough matchup against Madison Central.
"They are another one of those teams that just won't give up. They will play the full seven innings," Walker said. "They put a lot of runs on the board in a quick amount of time. We will have to play a complete game to win a championship."

Madison Central 7 Franklin County 5: The Lady Indians came back from an early 5-2 deficit to defeat the Lady Flyers.
"We got down early and weren't playing the best, but we didn't give up and that's what this team has been about all year long," Madison Central Coach Daniel Rogers said.
A two-run home run over the left-center field wall by the Lady Indians' Katie Brock in the bottom of the fifth inning gave them a 6-5 lead.
"I knew I had it in me, I just had to take a deep breath and tell myself I could do it, and I let it rip," Brock said.
Franklin County had jumped out to an early lead, scoring five runs on five hits in the first three innings. The Flyers also capitalized on three Madison Central errors.
"It started a little shaky, but we pulled it out," said Madison Central starting pitcher Mackenzie Wilder.
Wilder settled down in the late innings, retiring 14 of the final 16 batters she faced.
"The last three innings she shut them down. She did what she was supposed to do," Rogers said. "For her to have that poise and strength is just awesome."
Madison Central second baseman Jodi Cline committed two errors, but she reached base all four times at the plate, going 3-for-3 and scoring twice.
"Jodi is one of the best players that has ever played here," Rogers said. "For someone who hasn't hardly made an error in the field all year long to struggle a little bit out there like she did, and then just get up and kill the ball — that's what this entire team is about."

BEREA — Scott County's Megan Glover could have played center field most of the game with no glove.
Cardinal starting pitcher Marlee Tevis held Madison Central hitless for the first four innings, and 21 Lady Indian batters came to the plate without sending a ball Glover's direction.
But with Scott County clinging to a 3-0 lead and the bases loaded for the Indians with two outs in the bottom of the fifth, senior cleanup hitter Kristin Congleton sent a high fly ball toward center field which could have cleared the bases if dropped or misplayed.
Glover made the inning-ended catch, Scott County tacked on three more runs and Tevis, a sophomore, closed out the Indians to give Scott County a 6-0 win over Madison Central in the 11th Region championship game at Madison Southern on Thursday.
Scott County will represent the 11th Region in the Rawlings/KHSAA State High School Fastpitch Softball Tournament at Owensboro June 7-9.
Madison Central starting pitcher MacKenzie Wilder held Scott County to three hits and one run over the first three innings.
"We got back to that swing-at-the-first-pitch-and-flare-it, so we weren't hitting it as hard as we usually do," said Scott County Coach Scott Walters.
The Cardinals used small-ball techniques of pinch runners, sacrifice bunts and stolen bases to manufacture runs in both the fourth and fifth innings to take a 3-0 lead.
"Every time you can scratch a run in, it is an advantage," Walters said.
The Indians threatened in the fifth, with a MacKenzie Humphrey double and a Kirstin Spillman single. When Jodi Cline drew a walk, it loaded the bases with two outs.
Congleton flew out to Glover in center field to end the Indian rally.
"I saw it and knew it was near me. I was nervous, but then I caught it, so everything was good," said Glover about the catch.
Walters said that he expects that sort of focus in the outfield from a senior like Glover.
"We have a saying that 'every pitch will be hit where?' and their answer has to be 'towards me," Walters said. "So they have to be on the balls of their feet, ready to go on every pitch."
Scott County sent all nine batters to the plate in the 6th inning, scoring three more runs to extend their lead to 6-0.
Tevis pitched a complete game for Scott County, allowing four hits and striking out nine.
"I trust them 100 percent and that is how it has been all season," Tevis said about the Scott County defensive effort.
Tevis was also 3-for-5 at the plate including a triple and an off-the-wall single.
Tevis was named the 11th Region Tournament Most Valuable Player.
"She is a battler, even when her control is a little off," Walters said. "She is about the most determined and intense lady I have been around in a while. She is a warrior and isn't going to give in."
The team will take a couple of days off then begin preparing for the state tournament Sunday.
After reaching the region semifinals the three previous years, Madison Central moved a step closer in Daniel Rogers' fourth year as head coach but couldn't advance to the state tournament.
"We just couldn't get the job done today. Give credit to Scott County," Rogers said. "They made some fantastic plays. They're a heck of a ball team."
Senior third baseman Congleton was proud of everything the Indians had accomplished.
"We're all upset about not making it to state, but we have nothing to hang our heads over," she said. "We gave it everything we had."
