<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LONDON \u2014 With her team trailing 1-0 in the top of the fifth, North Laurel\u2019s Emma Carl took things into her own hands, delivering a two-run homer that proved to be the game winning hit as the Lady Jaguars\u2019 prevailed over crosstown rival South Laurel with a 2-1 decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caylee Singleton got the win in the pitcher\u2019s circle, tossing five inning of four-hit ball while allowing only one earned run. Tessa Monhollen got the save, dominating the final two innings, allowing no hits or runs while striking out five batters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The win improved North Laurel to 23-2while the Lady Cardinals fell to 21-5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis was an old-fashioned fist fight type of game,\u201d North Laurel coach Chris Edwards said. \u201cGreat pitching on both sides, great defense from both sides. Just a really good high school softball game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOffensively, their pitcher scattered 6 hits on us,\u201d he added. \u201cNo one had more than one. Tessa Monhollen and Katie Sams both had doubles. Emma Carl with the big hit in the fifth, a two-run home run. We had a couple of other chances with runners in scoring position but couldn\u2019t push them across. Again, that\u2019s a credit to their pitching and defense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCaylee Singleton started in the circle tonight,\u201d Edwards continued. \u201cShe was coming off a great game and win against a top 20 team at West Jessamine on Saturday and turned in another great game tonight \u2014 five innings and only one run allowed. Been a warrior lately when we have really needed her. Tessa came in the game in the sixth and pitched the last two innings. She was lights out with five strikeouts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ryleigh Bretz delivered South Laurel\u2019s biggest hit of the game a solo home run in the fourth inning. Morgan Jackson, Kenzie Williams, and Skye Lawson also had hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lexi Messer tossed six innings for South Laurel, allowing six hits and two earned runs while striking out five batters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBig shoutout to our defense tight, too,\u201d Edwards said. \u201cWe made all the plays we should have tonight. Had a perfect relay from a ball in the gap and three out a runner at the plate. Lucy Jo Linville made a great diving play on a ball the was scorched up the middle. Defense wins games like this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
