It took 9 innings for the Canes (JV) team to earn another win. In a very exciting game, Milton proved to be the toughest team they have faced this year. Milton brought 3 different pitchers to the mound and all 3 proved to be very tough. The Canes won in 9, 8 - 4.
Pitching for the Canes was Justin Croft (So). Croft went 4 innings allowing only 4 hits. Croft then yielded the mound to Ben Dittmer, followed by Levi Mauldin and finally Hunter Horton who earned the win. Canes relief pitchers allowed only 1 hit.
The Canes trailed the entire game until the ninth inning when the bats erupted for a clump of runs.
Justin Croft (3-4, 1hbP, 2 doubles, 1 rbi, 2 runs) smashed a double to deep center to lead off the 9th. Cartersville then sent pinch hitter Luke Daniel (Fr) (1-1, 1 rbi, 1 run) to the plate with 1 out. Daniel scorched a slicing line drive driving in the 1st lead run of the game for the Canes. Daniel then stole 2nd base and moved to 3rd on a dropped 3rd strike as Laine Fraizer (So) reached 1st hustling out the throw by the Milton catcher. Pitcher Hunter Horton earned an important walk loading the bases for Colton Montgomery (So). Montgomery (2-4, 1 double, 3 RBIs) crushed a long line drive to the deepest part of the park for a double easliy clearing the bases for the Canes for some important insurance runs going into the bottom of the ninth.
Horton then took the mound in the 9th and struke out the first 2 batters and earning a ground ball for the final out.
Other offensive contributors in the game were: Ben Venters (Fr) 1-4 with 1 HBP 1 run scored, Taylor Greene (So) 1-4 with 1 run scored, Tyler Higgens (So) 1-5 and Trey Dickson (So) 3-5, 1 double. Fraizer and Horton each scored a run.
