Trailing 5-3 entering the fifth inning, Chris Edwards\u2019 North Laurel Lady Jaguars answered the bell, scoring three runs in the top of the fifth inning while adding two more runs in the top of the seventh inning to defeat Bethlehem, 8-6, during Monday\u2019s action in the Florida Softball Beach Bash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seventh grader Emma Carl did her job in the pitcher\u2019s circle, picking up her fourth win of the season, scattering six hits while giving up four earned runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis was a great win for our team today,\u201d Edwards said. \u201cBethlehem is the preseason favorite to win their region and their pitcher was really good. We managed to scratch out a win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEmma Carl got the win tonight,\u201d he added. \u201cShe scattered six hits and only four of the runs she gave up were earned. She went against a top 20 team and competed. She threw a wonderful game. The sky is the limit for her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Junior Braylee Fawbush turned in a perfect 4-for-4 effort at the plate while driving in a run. Haley Cooper connected with a hit and drove in two runs while Bella Sizemore, and Ellie Adams finished with a hit, an RBI, and a run scored apiece. Saige McClure had a hit, and scored twice while Katie Adams scored once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe had eight hits, I believe on the night, and Braylee Fawbush had four of them,\u201d Edwards said. \u201cBraylee and Emily are really stepping up and leading these youngsters. She set the table in the top of the seventh when we had to have a run. Very happy and proud of Braylee. We ended up getting two in the seventh for the final score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
