The Trinity Valley Community College Lady Cardinals — who entered the Region XIV Softball Tournament as underdogs and who had never won a tournament game — won their third straight game Saturday and are now guaranteed a trip to the National Championship Tournament in Utah.
TVCC beat Paris Saturday, 7-5. Earlier in the tournament, the girls beat both Blinn and nationally-ranked Galveston.
The Lady Cards will play in the Regional championship game tomorrow at 12:30 p.m. at Navarro College. Their opponent is to be determined.
The national tournament will be May 15-18 in St. George, Utah.
