Last night, one champion was crowned tonight, another as the 15th region softball championship took place this evening from Pike Central High School. The Lady Eagles of Johnson County are on the hunt for their fourth consecutive 15th region softball title while the Pikeville Panthers are looking for their first region victory since 2002. The Panthers wasted no time on offense tonight as Lindsay Lockhart steps in the box, finds her pitch and crushes it over the left center field fence, driving in three RBIs and getting the Panthers on the board. Pitcher Erika Kahn steps to the plate for Pikeville and she squeaks a single through the middle for her first RBI of the game, scoring Alexis Stanley on the hit. Erika Kahn again at the plate for the Panthers. She gets her pitch and drives this one to the left field fence. This brings home Savannah Nunamaker and Cameron Sloan safely for Kahn's third and fourth RBI's for the game to go along with her complete game pitching performance. And for the first time in 15 years, the Pikeville Lady Panthers are the 15th region champions, defeating the three-time defending champions, Johnson Central 11-4. The Panthers advance to the KHSAA state championship where they will take on the Madisonville North Hopkins June 8th in the first round. We caught up with head coach Dave Thomas and some of the girls following the game. It's really exciting, it's great, what we've worked for all year and been talking about for more than a year but we were not going to be satisfied unless we got this and we dethroned a three-time champion and a great program and just really happy for our girls. They put their heart and soul into this team. It's just crazy. I've been playing varsity softball for six years and we've never made it to the regional championship. As soon as Cassie Lowe got that last out, we knew we had it. It was just great. This was our main goal so we're all pretty happy that we're going back. We can't wait. We're ready.
