MAGNOLIA Emiley Kennedy hasn t kept track of her no-hitters this year.
She thinks she s thrown three of them after accomplishing the feat to lead third-ranked Lake Creek to a five-inning, 16-0 victory over Magnolia West in a Class 5A Region III softball quarterfinal Friday at Magnolia High School.
Kennedy allowed four walks but was otherwise flawless in sending the Lions to the regional semifinals to face either No. 7 Santa Fe or No. 10 Crosby. She struck out seven and got some help from her defense, including a heads-up play from senior right fielder Bre Hagerty, who threw out Magnolia West s Lakyn Hacker at first base on what appeared to be a single.
