New Hope was led to victory by Lauren Kelly, who turned in her biggest game of the season on Monday. Kelly turned in nothing short of a gem: she didn't allow a single earned run and only one hit while striking out nine over five innings pitched. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up a single walk in three consecutive pitching appearances.
Kelly and New Hope will head out on the road to challenge Madison County at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. New Hope will be headed into this one with a pretty big disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 160 places lower in Alabama), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Kelly? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more softball content.
