Canes beat Villa Rica with a very exciting bottom of the 6th... but not what you would expect !!!
Cartersville beat Villa Rica Friday night 8-0 which was not unexpected, but what was not expected was how the Canes last round at the plate for the evening was played out.
While Taylor Hightower (Sr), Donavan Tate (Jr) and Cole Payne (Jr) each pounded a home run for the Canes, the most exciting hit of the evening came from a flair hit by Josh Daniel (Sr) in the bottom of the 6th. Daniel had been inserted in the lineup the inning before and was taking his first at bat of the evening and flared a hit that dropped between the 2nd baseman giving chase and the center fielder. The 2nd baseman continued chase and retrieved the ball on the 1st hop.
Daniel was standing at 1st with a single and then what happened next was something that you may never see again.
The field umpire claimed he did not see the play and was out of position so he then deferred to the plate umpire. After a brief discussion the plate umpire called Daniel out and said the 2nd baseman made the catch.
Cartersville Coach, Stuart Chester immediately went to both umpires to argue the call, but in an effort to back his player was tossed out of the game after arguing to the umpire that he was more concerned with the "kid on base than the score" saying it is not right to take his hit away.
The crowd erupted into support for Daniel and Chester. After that sequence of events, the Canes showed emotion that was at a level not seen in awhile. There was a string of hits, one more run scored and a fired up dugout and crowd.
Several fan observations within the stands all agreed that this moment could be what the Canes need to circle the wagons and have a strong region run and go deep in the playoffs.
This Canes fan certainly is looking forward to it.
Go Canes !!!! and oh by the way, nice hit Josh Daniel !!! ;)

Cartersville Places 3rd in LaGrange
The Canes faced a less than competitive Stephens County team as they waxed SC 15 -3. Adam Thurman picked up the win. The Canes had 12 hits in the win. The weather for the night was less than perfect as the cold conditions made for a miserable atmosphere but the weather was much better than the snow earlier in the day.
