LONDON — North Laurel’s Emma Carl might be a seventh grader but you’d never know it with the way she plays on the diamond.
Carl recorded another no-hitter while going 3-for-3 at the plate with three RBI, and two runs scored to lead the Lady Jaguars to a 15-0 win over Wayne County on Tuesday.
Carl struck out two batters in the win, and received a stellar defensive effort from her teammates as North Laurel improved to 25-1 overall while capturing its 19th consecutive win. The Lady Jaguars’ lone loss came back on March 28 against Estill County.
“A good senior night win tonight,” North Laurel coach Chris Edwards said. “We played a complete game. No errors, and hits from the entire lineup. We had a couple of swings early but the second time through the lineup we really got on time and had some really good swings. We had a ix extra base hits and five girls with multiple hits in the game. Seven different girls drove in runs. A really good offensive effort tonight.
“Emma Carl pitched tonight and threw pretty well,” he added. “With our break we just had it had been a minute since she had thrown. Scattered five hits and pitched to her defense tonight.”
Senior Emily Sizemore also had a big game during senior night. She went 2-for-3 with two RBI, and three runs scored while Katie Sams delivered two hits, three RBI, and scored once.
“Tonight we celebrated Emily Sizemore, our only senior,” Edwards said. “She is a great softball player but if you can imagine, an even better person. We are certainly gonna miss her when this season is over but her impact on our program has been immense. Her name will certainly be remembered here and throughout our region.
“Emily will sign to play softball at Transylvania on Thursday before our home game against Jackson County,” he added. “Everyone that wants to can come out for that. Go Jags.”
