LAKELAND, Fla. — Power from the heart of the lineup, red-hot contact at the top and a deep pitching staff carried the SE Rising Appel/Sherrill 18u squad through five games at the Ray Seymour Invitational. Fourteen players contributed, and every one of them left Lakeland with a moment worth remembering.

The Bats

Addison Trego (#3, 2027, UNCG) set the tone. She hit .500 (5-for-10), reached base at a .545 clip and led the team with two doubles. She also drove in a two-out run, scored twice and posted a 54.5 percent quality at-bat rate.

Kyla Hamby (#15, 2027, Georgia commit) was a force at the plate and on the bases. She launched two home runs, drove in three and led the team with five runs scored, nine total bases and a 1.708 OPS. She reached base at a .583 rate and went a perfect 7-for-7 on stolen base attempts.

Savanna Henderson (#14, 2027, Kentucky commit) led the team with four RBI, powered by a home run and a two-out run-scoring hit. She drew two walks, stole a base, scored twice and posted the team's best quality at-bat rate at 63.6 percent.

Lyla Mayberry (#20, 2028) matched Trego for the team lead in hits, going 5-for-10 for a .500 average with a two-out RBI. Victoria MacKenzie (#18, 2028) legged out the team's only triple, stole a base and delivered a two-out RBI.

Emery Coffield (#32, 2027, Wofford commit) came through with a two-out RBI and stole a base. Reese Poole (#2, 2027, UNCG commit) collected two hits, drove in a run, scored twice and posted a 54.5 percent quality at-bat rate. CJ Haines (#23, 2028) added two hits, worked two walks for a .364 on-base percentage and scored a run.

Ava Hamby (#22), Emalynn Kitts (#33, 2028) and Mia Bergman (#4, 2029) each picked up a base hit. Hamby and Bergman, the youngest player on the roster, both crossed the plate, and Kitts drew a walk.

In The Circle

Josey Kegley (#11, 2027, Providence commit) was the workhorse. She appeared in four games, led the staff with 11 innings and a team-high nine strikeouts, and threw 174 pitches across the weekend.

Emery Jensen (#10, 2027, Marshall) made three appearances, including two starts. She worked eight innings and struck out five.
