<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FT. WALTON BEACH, FLA. \u2014 North Laurel coach Chris Edward\u2019s summed up his team\u2019s come from behind 14-13 win over Henry County on Tuesday the best way possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere are gonna be days like this when you don\u2019t play your best and make mistakes,\u201d he said. \u201cToday was definitely that day. We were lucky today to pull out a win. I still really like where my team is right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most teams wouldn\u2019t recover from allowing 13 runs, 18 hits, and an inning where the opposing team scored seven runs, not North Laurel somehow withstood the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnother good win for our girls,\u201d Edward said. \u201cHenry County gave us all kinds of trouble in the early going. We also made some mistakes that we haven\u2019t been making. We finally made some adjustments at the plate and put some good swings on the ball. We then started putting the pressure on them and they made a couple of mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe bad news from today is we didn\u2019t play great,\u201d he added. \u201cWe made some mistakes that we don\u2019t usually make, a couple of errors also. The good news is that we still done enough really good things to win. Saige McClure with a home run and five RBI to close the gap when we were down early. Emily Sizemore was Emily Sizemore today with four hits while Katie Sams was on base all day again and scored a bunch. Braylee Fawbush drove in our last two runs with two outs that gave us the lead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lady Jaguars (10-1) fell behind 3-0 after two innings of play before scoring three runs in the third inning to tie the game at three apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But that\u2019s when the game seemed to have taken a turn for the worst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Henry County exploded for seven runs in the top of the fourth inning to take a 10-3 lead. North Laurel answered with a run in the bottom of the fourth while the Lady Wildcats responded with a run of their own in the top of the fifth to take an 11-4 edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that\u2019s when the tide turned again, but this time, in the Lady Jaguars\u2019 favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
North Laurel answered with an eight-run bottom of the fifth inning to take its first lead of the game at 12-11. Henry County answered with two runs in the top of the sixth to reclaim a 13-12 lead, but Fawbush\u2019s two-run single in the bottom of the sixth that gave her team a 14-13 advantage turned out to be the game-winning hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the Lady Wildcats putting runners on first and second with two outs in the top of the seventh, freshman Haley Cooper slammed the door shut, and recorded the win by retiring the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
