<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DANVILLE \u2014 Kenzie Williams continues to shine each time she hits the pitcher\u2019s circle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She matched Boyle County\u2019s Abby Peavler pitch by pitch, as the two hurlers combined to record 33 strikeouts during the Lady Cardinals\u2019 2-1 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The one-run victory also turned out to be South Laurel coach Carly Mink\u2019s 100th career win.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Williams struck out 16 batters, allowing only four hits and one earned run while Peavler allowed six hits, two earned runs and struck out 17 batters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
South Laurel\u2019s bottom of the order came up clutch when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bailey Frazier collected two hits, one RBI while, and one run scored while Ryleigh Brett finished with a hit and an RBI. Audrey Likins and Morgan Jackson finished with a hit apiece.\u00a0

\u201cJust an overall great team win,\u201d Mink said. \u201cWe were able to put together some really good at bats that led to an important insurance run in the top of the seventh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKenzie put together another great performance, just not enough I can say about how she battled tonight,\u201d she added. \u201cWe played another clean game behind her. We\u2019re just focused on getting better everyday. Tonight is a good win, but we have to reset and be ready for tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lady Cardinals took a 1-0 lead with a run in the second inning while adding an insurance run in the top of the seventh, extending their lead to 2-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lady Rebels got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the seventh as Havannah Maddox connected with a lead off home run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
