It wasn\u2019t easy, but North Laurel found a way, rallying from a four-run deficit to pull off a 12-6 win in nine innings to improve to 24-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfter we played South last Monday, we had a a game rained out, had a team cancel on us along with a previously scheduled day off,\u201d Edwards said. \u201cThe girls had prom this weekend and all of that led to us coming out really slow. We only had a few hits late in the game. When we started hitting the ball hard, we started hitting it right at them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
North Laurel rallied to score four runs in the seventh inning ing to force extra innings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both teams scored a run apiece in the eighth inning before the Lady Jaguars broke the game open with a seven-run ninth inning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEventually we squared the ball up but we had to score some late just to force extra innings,\u201d Edwards said. \u201cFinally broke through with a big inning in the ninth to pull away. Offensively, we had bunch of hits, like I said, most of them late or in extra innings. Multiple hits from Emma, Tessa, Lucy, Caylee and Reeselynn. Clutch hits in the seventh to tie the game with two outs. Emma and Presley also had home runs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edwards said he was also pleased with Tessa Monhollen\u2019s pitching effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
