Westfield grad sets North Georgia softball record
Carleigh Knowles isn’t waiting long to put her stamp on North Georgia’s softball program.
The freshman from Westfield set the North Georgia single-season for homers with her 20th on Saturday during the eighth-ranked Nighthawks’ sweep of Columbus State.
She passed Margaret Simmons who had 19 in 2021. The career mark is 41, set by Shelby Hammontree from 2017-21
Knowles is second on the team with a .441 average and first with 59 RBI – 12 behind the record of Lynsey Thompson in 2003 - and third with 11 stolen bases in 13 tries. She has started all 45 games.
