Softball

1. (--) Lesley Murray, LF, Nash Central: After picking up a hit in all but one game this season, Murray should finish the year with a batting average well into the .400s. She’s a threat to drive in runs, even if the bases are empty.

2. (--) Mariah Gray, 2B/P, Southern Nash: Gray pitched a pair of gems this week and allowed just five runs in two games. Only two of those runs were earned.

3. (NR) Jessica Ricks, CF, Northern Nash: Ricks went 3-for-4 on Tuesday night, but has been one of the better outfielders in the area this season – both at the plate and in the grass.

4. (-1) Lindsey Sharpe, 3B/P, Nash Central: Sharpe went 1-for-3 against Northern Nash on Tuesday and has been key for the Bulldogs, who remain tied for first place in the conference.
