Cartersville started out strong in Game 1 vs the 2007 Alabama State Champion Culman County. Cartersville pounded Culman 10 - 2 in a long ball contest of Canes players. Canes catcher Taylor Hightower stroked 2 HR's over the leftfield fence (3 and 2 run shots), while DH Hank Stewart hit a long shot over the high center field wall just two batters after Hightowers last. Ben Bridges connected in the following inning on an opposite field solo HR to card the 10th and final run for Cartersville.
Pitching for the Canes was Patrick Boling (4 innings) and Chris Huth (2 innings). Boling allowed only 2 runs in a good performance. Huth pitched the final 2 allowing no runs.
The second game against Brookwood for Cartersville was almost the exact opposite to the first. Brookwood sent 3 very good pitchers to the mound as the Canes scattered only 6 hits (2 HR's by Ben Bridges). Cartersville pitchers allowed only 8 hits but Brookwood seemed to capitalize on all errors and walks by the Canes defense. Cartersville lost 3 - 10.
The Canes are due to play in their final game today against the winner of Stephens County vs Nova (FL). The weather has shortened the tournament by one game for all teams.
Go Canes !!!!
