LONDON — North Laurel captured its 13th Region-best 15th win on Tuesday, but it wasn’t easy.
The Lady Jaguars escaped their matchup with Clay County by pulling off a 3-2 win while capturing their second win in as many days over the Lady Tigers.
“Really difficult game tonight and we are lucky to have escaped with a win,” North Laurel coach Chris Edwards said. “Clay County is so much better than their record reflects. They are going to be very difficult when the post season comes around. Only six hits tonight and no one with more than one. Clay’s pitcher threw a really good game and they caught everything. We also caught everything and this game had a post season feel to it.”
Caylee Singleton turned in a stellar effort in the pitcher’s circle which played a big role in North Laurel’s win.
“Caylee Singleton threw a really good game tonight,” Edwards said. “Scattered six hits and a couple of runs. Her defense really played well tonight too. She really kept us in a position to win the game.
“As always our first goal of the season is to get the No. 1 seed in the district tournament,” he added. “Our seed game with Clay was last night and we survived that and then our next one is Monday. That’s where our focus is now. Good start to our District schedule. Go Jags.”
