Correction
MASSILLON -- The score of Saturday's Division III regional softball championship game at Genshaft Field was incorrect in Sunday's edition of The Vindicator.
Champion defeated Ursuline, 3-2, when a hit by Emily Hayes pushed Jaclyn Carpenter across with the game-winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning. At the time, the game was tied, 2-2. Although another runner was on base and scored behind Carpenter, the game ended when Carpenter was safe at home.
