Kennedy perfect for Fluvanna

Zion Crossroads

Fluvanna County’s softball team knows it doesn’t have much to worry about when Annaleise Kennedy is in the circle.

The junior showed exactly why Friday night when she threw a perfect game against Louisa County, a Region 4A North semifinalist last season, to help lift Fluvanna to a 2-0 win over the Lions.

Kennedy recorded six strikeouts and didn’t give up a walk or a hit in the complete game, 7-inning victory. She also helped her own cause by drawing a walk in the second inning, which opened the door for her courtesy runner Bri Harris to advance around the bases and eventually score on a passed ball.

That run was all Kennedy needed during the perfecto to get the win, but Fluvanna tacked on a second run in the fifth inning when Lexi Scott drove in Tiffani Shaheen, who’d reached on a fielder’s choice two batters earlier.

The Flucos, with Kennedy in tow, travel Tuesday to take on Monticello while Louisa will look to bounce back on the road against Orange County.
