Even though Middlesboro beat Corbin 18-2 in 3 innings? Other than Clay County, have they beaten a decent team? I know Middlesboro hasn't really played a tough schedule either...but they did drub them in the head to head.

I would also argue that it is too early to say NL is ahead of the pack really. They only beat SL 4-0. They will face a few tough teams within the region in the coming week or so, so we will get to see how good they really are.

This very well could be the year someone besides North or South wins the 13th, but based on what I've seen, North is still WAY ahead of most of the region. Nobody, including North, plays anyone really good to see exactly how good they are. North has Gregory who has big time pitching experience, defeating Scott County in the state tournament, for example, and that gives North a BIG advantage. We will see how it all shakes out! This weekend should be interesting!
