Kelley bashed four home runs in six games last week, leading the Golden Eagles to wins over Pitt-Johnstown and Mansfield. She went 9-for-20 (.450) at the plate with four home runs, 11 RBI and six runs scored. Kelley came up biggest in the games Clarion won, starting with a big first game against the Mountain Cats on Friday. She went 1-for-4 at the dish with a two-run homer to open the scoring, as CU went on to win 6-5. She was the key contributor in the Golden Eagles’ comeback win over the Mountaineers in Game 1 on Saturday, going 2-for-4 with five RBI’s. Her three-run blast early in the game pulled Clarion to within 8-6, and a two-RBI single in the sixth inning scored the go-ahead run for the Golden Eagles as they won 10-9.

Kelley ranks second on the team in home runs (5) and RBI’s (14), and is third on the squad with a .290 batting average. She posts an OPS of .883 which trails only Jessica Cartia.
