WALTON BEACH, FLA. \u2014 After coming in relief and getting the win against Henry County on Tuesday, North Laurel freshman Haley Cooper notched her second win in as many days by pitching the Lady Jaguars past Russell County with a convincing 11-1 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cooper tossed all five innings, surrendering only four hits, and no earned runs while striking out a batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs good as our offense was, our pitching may have been better,\u201d North Laurel coach Chris Edwards said. \u201cHaley Cooper threw five innings, only allowed four hits and one unearned run. She\u2019s been great the last two days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m really proud of my girls,\u201d Edwards said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The win improved North Laurel to a 13th Region-best 11-1 while extending the Lady Jaguars\u2019 win streak to five games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
North Laurel came out hitting red-hot, scoring four runs in the first inning while two runs apiece in the second, third, and fourth innings before wrapping up the 10-run victory with a run in the fifth inning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Emily Sizemore continued to swing a red-hot bat, going 3-for-4 at the plate with a triple, double, two RBI, three runs scored, and a stolen base. Saige McClure went 2-for-3 with a double, three RBI, and three runs scored. Ellie Adams was 3-for-4 with two RBI while Katie Keen finished with a hit, two RBI, and a run scored. Braylee Fawbush had two hits while Bella Sizemore finished with a hit, an RBI, and a run scored. Katie Sams had a hit, and two runs scored while Reagan Isaac collected a hit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnother good win for my girls,\u201d Edwards said. \u201cToday was the opposite of how we started yesterday. We got off to a quick start with four in the top of the first and added on every inning. That\u2019s one of the things we talk about a lot is scoring every inning and wining every inning. We did a great job of that tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe hit all the way up and down the lineup today,\u201d he added. \u201cWe had hits total. Eight of the nine girls had hits and five of the nine had RBI. That\u2019s great production. More walks than strikeouts again is also well done by the girls.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
North Laurel is currently 4-0 in its stay in Florida, and will wrapup play on Thursday against Fern Creek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
