RICHMOND — North Laurel’s offense stayed red hot Tuesday night.
The Lady Jaguars (25-2) blasted four home runs and pounded out 19 hits as North Laurel rolled past Madison Southern 17-6 on the road for its 15th consecutive victory.
“Really good game from our girls tonight,” North Laurel coach Chris Edwards said. “Hits up and down the lineup, four home runs also, really pleased with how we seen the ball tonight. We played Madison Southern earlier in the year and struggled with them.
“Multiple hits from Emma, Katie Sams, Bella Finley, Tessa, Lucy Jo, Presley, Katie Keen, and Reeselynn,” he added. “Home runs from Emma, Katie Sams and two from Presley.
“A good outing again from Caylee in the circle,” Edwards continued. “She has had a long time without pitching due tour schedule and she fought through a couple of walks. Still did a great job limiting any damage from those. Alex Allen came in and got the last 3 outs with no runs. Getting her some varsity experience was good tonight. Proud of the way we responded after the long night last night. Go Jags.”
