Lele Bennett gives Bellarmine a legit two-way spark in the circle and at the plate
In 2026, Lele Bennett emerged as Bellarmine’s most experienced pitcher and a true two-way threat, highlighted by a 7.0-inning shutout gem against Western Illinois and a complete-game win over Eastern Kentucky, plus extra-base pop including a homer at Louisville.[1][2][7][8] Her Bellarmine bio notes she arrived with 105.0 innings from Memphis, and the Knights leaned on her heavily all season—evidence of trust in her poise, competitiveness, and ability to handle big-game reps.[1][9][14]
