LONDON — North Laurel ran its win streak to 10 games while improving to 16-1 with wins over Breathitt County (3-2), and Magoffin County (16-1).
“Good day for my girls,” North Laurel coach Chris Edwards said. “We were invited to the Breathitt Triangle today. Breathitt has a really nice pitcher. Good velocity and really spins it too. We had some timely hits off her but she is really good. We need to see pitchers like her. I was very impressed with her.
“A couple of girls really hit the ball hard and had nothing to show for it but I’ll take those good swings all the time,” he added. “Emily Sizemore hit a home run in the sixth to put us ahead.
“The real story of today was Emma Carl,” Edwards continued. “A couple of hits and she pitched a four hitter. She is learning to pitch right now. She has good velocity but she is starting to make strides understand what we are trying to do. Several strikeouts and only one walk. She was impressive today.
“In the second game, we played Magoffin County. 14 hits and 16 runs and Everyone on the roster contributed in this one,” he said. “Really proud of our girls taking care of business. Reagan Isaac was very good in the circle. She threw a one hitter and had very good command. Very good day for our girls. Rest tomorrow and back to work Monday. District games start this week. Go Jags.”
