Cartersville softball snapped a four-game skid Monday night and evened their season record by defeating visiting Darlington 8-2 in a non-region game. The Lady Canes may have struggled scoring runs during their recent stretch, but broke away Monday night with six runs over their final two offensive frames as they out hit the Lady Tigers ten to four. Colbi Ballard (7 IP, 2R, 1ER, 4H, 1BB, 4K) tossed a complete game for the Hurricanes to collect the pitching win. She also drove in two runs with a triple at the plate. Cio Seigler doubled twice in a 3-for-3 performance. She scored two runs and drove in one. AnnaKate McElhaney had two hits with one RBI. Emery Jenkins, Lauren McElhaney (sac fly RBI), Presley Edwards, and Mattie Johnson (RBI) added one hit each. The loss dropped Darlington to 2-8 on the season. Cartersville (6-6) will now prepare for the Bartow County Championship Tournament. The Lady Canes will face Cass Friday night at Hamilton Crossing Park in one of two semifinal games. Adairsville and Woodland will also play Friday. The third place game will be Saturday at 11 a.m. at Woodland High School with the championship game to follow at 1 p.m.

The visiting Ringgold Lady Tigers posted 10 runs over the final two innings Monday at Adairsville to pull away from the home Lady Tigers, 10-2. Adairsville had beaten Ringgold in their season opener, but dropped this region matchup. Adairsville led 1-0 heading to the fourth inning, but the visiting Tigers scored six times in that inning to fuel their win. Adairsville got one of those runs back in the bottom of the fourth inning, but Ringgold exploded again in the fifth, this time for four runs, to end the game early via the GHSA run rule. Adairsville (2-11, 1-6 Region 6AAA) will look to rebound Tuesday at North Murray before facing Woodland Friday in the Bartow County Championships at Hamilton Crossing Park.

The summer Minor League Baseball regular season enters its final days for the three local athletes from Cartersville, but the college football season is just getting started for 2018. Anthony Seigler, the New York Yankees' top draft pick from Cartersville, has been shut down for the season after suffering a concussion. Sam Howard made his 19th start on the mound for the Rockies' organization, and Connor Justus continued his middle infield work for Double-A Mobile in the Angels' organization. Meanwhile, at least four local athletes on college football rosters saw action in games this past week with the majority of college teams kicking off this week. PRO BASEBALL SAM HOWARD — Albuquerque Isotopes (5th yr. pro; LHP; Triple-A Pacific Coast League; Colorado Rockies organization; Georgia Southern; Cartersville HS)… suffered his seventh loss of the season this past week in a four inning start against the Pacific Coast League South Division-leading El Paso Chihuahuas. El Paso went on to win the game last Wednesday, 7-2. The Cartersville lefty allowed six earned runs on eight hits and two walks in his 19th start of the year. Three of those hits were home runs. He struck out four. Howard, now 3-7 on the season, has a 5.46 ERA in 84 innings. He has 70 strikeouts and 31 walks. PCL hitters are batting .292 against him this season. The Isotopes (60-71) wrap up a four-game series against Reno Monday night, travel to Sacramento for a three-game set Tuesday through Thursday, and conclude the 2018 season at Reno September 1-3. CONNOR JUSTUS — Mobile BayBears (3rd yr. pro; SS; Double-A Southern League; L.A. Angels organization; Georgia Tech; Cartersville HS)… in three home games against the Mississippi Braves and three on the road at the Pensacola Wahoos, Justus was 2-for-20, scored one run, walked five times, and drove in a pair of runs. In 116 games split between Double-A Mobile and Advanced-A Inland Empire, Justus has a .224 batting average, six homers, 24 extra base hits, 44 RBI, and 62 walks for a .345 on-base percentage. Defensively, his fielding percentage stands at .955 with 20 errors in 440 total chances. He has been part of 58 double plays. Mobile (64-65 overall; 27-34 second half) wraps up the 2018 season by completing a five-game series at Pensacola Tuesday before hosting Birmingham for five games through Labor Day. ANTHONY SEIGLER — Pulaski Yankees (1st yr. pro; C; Rookie Appalachian League; New York Yankees organization; Cartersville HS)… according to ESPN senior writer Keith Law, Seigler is done for the season with a concussion. He took a foul tip to the face mask last week. Seigler, this year’s first round pick for the Yankees, hit .266/.379/.342 (108 wRC+) with more walks (14.7%) than strikeouts (12.6%) in 24 games in his pro debut. Pulaski’s season ends in less than a week, so there is no reason to rush him back this season. The P-Yanks are 30-34 and in fourth place in the Appalachian League’s East Division. COLLEGE FOOTBALL BRYCE BURGESS — Reinhardt University (Fr., RB, Adairsville HS)… Playing in his first collegiate game, Burgess was credited with one tackle in the NAIA 2nd-ranked Eagles’ 31-21 surprise loss at Bethel University Thursday night in McKenzie, TN. Reinhardt (0-1) will look to bounce back in their home debut Saturday, September 8 as they host Georgetown (KY). TREVOR CARLTON — Reinhardt University (Sr., LB, Cartersville HS)… recorded three tackle assists including a shared sack for a 2.5 yard loss Thursday night in McKenzie, TN, but the NAIA 2nd-ranked Eagles lost 31-21 at Bethel University in their season opener. RU (0-1) hosts Georgetown (KY) on Saturday, September 8. HUNTER HARDIN — Point University (Soph., OL, Woodland HS)… participated on the Skyhawks’ PAT team and was the back-up left guard in Point’s opening 17-5 loss at Ave Maria University (FL). Point (0-1) travels back to Deland, FL Saturday night to challenge the Stetson Hatters. EMMANUEL JONES — Colorado State University (Soph., LB, Woodland HS)… had two solo tackles and two assisted tackles Saturday night including 1.5 that accounted for two yards in losses. The Rams lost, however, in their home opener to visiting Hawaii 43-34. CSU (0-1) plays rival Colorado this Friday in Denver in a game to be televised by CBS Sports Network. SOCCER BRIANNA BULLOCK -- Truett-McConnell University (Fr., Cass HS)... Bullock didn’t get the start in goal for the Bears’ season opener, but she did earn 14 minutes, 26 seconds of playing time in a 7-0 blowout win over Ohio Christian. She made one save in her nearly quarter of an hour between the posts. A trip to Middle Georgia State awaits Bullock and Co. today. KATELYNN HARBEKE -- Life University (Sr., Cass HS)... Harbeke started in the midfield for Life in a season-opening, 5-1 defeat to Reinhardt last Wednesday. Harbeke and Adairsville alum Katelynn Lawhorn, who didn’t see pitch against Reinhardt, will return to action today at Bryan (Tennessee) College.

Saturday’s results: SOUTH PAULDING 3, WOODLAND 2 The Lady Cats out hit visiting South Paulding 8-7, but came up short where it matters falling 3-2 in Woodland’s final game of the Buccaneer Bash.

LOVETT 12, CASS 0 The Lady Colonels’ Saturday afternoon game of the Buccaneer Bash was over almost as soon as it started.

Senior quarterback Rett Moore (photo left) capped off three Cass scoring drives as the Colonels won their season opener at home Friday night over Adairsville, 19-10. For Cass, the opening night victory was the team’s first since September 16, 2016 and snapped a 16-game losing streak. Adairsville slipped to 1-1 on the season with their loss following a season-opening 21-20 win last week at home against Chattooga. The Tigers, who played most of the night without all-around athlete Mason Boswell, led 7-0 early on a 26-yard touchdown pass from Derrick Simmons to Malachi Gardner. Kicker Chris Rodriguez added the PAT kick with 8:32 remaining in the opening quarter. On the Colonels’ second possession of the game, Moore capped a 60-yard drive with a one-yard scoring run. Key runs by sophomore Zay Jackson and Malik Grimes spurred the drive that narrowed the Tigers’ lead to 7-6 after Kaleb Speight’s PAT kick missed hitting the goal post upright. The first quarter ended with an Adairsville turnover. Nathan Gant picked off a Simmons pass at the Colonels’ 42 yard line, but Cass was unable to advance. About mid-way through the second quarter with the Colonels in a third and long situation, Moore scooped up a bad snap and made a nice run to keep a drive alive. Jackson followed with a 23-yard run to the Adairsville 20, and Moore connected with Jacquez Fountain to the 10-yard line. A penalty moved the ball to the Tigers’ five yard line where Moore powered in for his second score of the night and a 12-7 Colonels’ lead. A two-point coversion attempt failed with 7:05 remaining in the first half. Adairsville put points on the scoreboard to end the half using a series of short passes by Simmons who finished the night with 145 yards through the air. The Tigers utilized quality clock management on the drive against a Cass prevent defense. The Tigers methodically drove to the Cass 20-yard line and Rodriguez was successful on a 38-yard field goal to reach the intermission with Cass leading 12-10. The two teams exchanged turnovers in a scoreless third quarter, but Cass ended the period in the midst of a scoring drive at the Adairsville one-yard line. A key run by Jackson and a pass from Moore to Fountain put the Colonels in scoring position at the six yard line. From there Moore carried on three straight plays, including the first play of the fourth quarter for his third touchdown of the night on a one-yard run. This time, Speights was true on the PAT kick and Cass led 19-10. The two teams traded multiple possessions in the final quarter, but Cass put a seal on their victory late in the game. The Colonels took possession at their own 35-yard line with 4:42 remaining in the game and drove to the Tigers’ two yard line as the clock ticked to 0:00. In the drive, Moore had a completion to Fountain for a first down at the Adairsville 44 yard line and Thomas Gilliam had an impressive run to the Adairsville 10-yard line. Three Moore runs later the game clock expired. Moore rushed for 72 yards and three touchdowns. He was also 10-of-13 for 139 passing yards including a perfect 8-of-8 in the second half. Jackson rushed for 94 yards on 11 carries. Fountain finished with seven catches for 121 yards. Cass (1-0) travels to Cumming for a non-region matchup with the Forsyth Central Bulldogs next Friday at 7:30 p.m. Adairsville (1-1) is idle next week and will host Region 6-AAA foe Coahulla Creek September 7.

The Lady Cats edged Coffee 7-6 in nine innings and overpowered Armuchee 12-0. Three Woodland pitchers contributed from the circle in the extra inning win. Lainey Baker (3 IP, 0R, 1H, 3BB, 2K) picked up the win in relief of starter Sarah Baynard (5.2 IP, 5R, 0ER, 6H, 3BB, 2K) and Hope Schultz (0.1 IP, 1BB). Skylar Chappell, who went 3-for-4 with four RBI against Coffee, drove in the game-winning run in the ninth inning with a double. Caroline Higdon had two hits including a double and one RBI.
