Outreach: 50th District Baseball Tournament

Grace Health was pleased to sponsor the 50th District Baseball Tournament hosted by Corbin Independent School System. This tournament allowed Grace Health to connect with local communities regarding the access to high-quality health care we provide.

Consisting of 3 baseball games between Corbin, Whitley County, South Laurel, and Williamsburg, the 2022 tournament took place May 16-17 at the Corbin High School baseball field. On May 16, Corbin faced the Williamsburg Yellow Jackets while Whitley County took on the Cardinals of South Laurel.

Corbin and Whitley County won their respective games and faced each other in the championship game on May 17. Winning 14 to 4 in 5 innings, Whitley County secured a home field advantage for the first round of the 13th Region Tournament.

In Round 1 of the 13th Region Tournament, Whitley took down Jackson County and Corbin was victorious over Knox Central. Round 2 brought a loss for Whitley while Corbin beat Clay County and advanced to the final round of the tournament. Winning the championship 9-1, Corbin secured the 13th Region title and advanced to the KHSAA tournament in Lexington in June.

On June 2, Corbin lost to Central Hardin in a close game in the first round of the KHSAA tournament.

Grace Health is thankful to the coaches and administration of both Corbin and Whitley County for allowing us to reach out to the members of their communities during multiple baseball games this season. We enjoyed the opportunity and look forward to continuing to support area schools.
