The Bartow County Junior Little League (14U) baseball team finished third at the Georgia Junior Little League state tournament following an 11-1 loss to Toccoa Little League Tuesday night in Columbus.

Bartow 14U finished 2-2 in the state tournament with wins over East Marietta and Peachtree City in earlier elimination games. The locals' other loss was to Peachtree City in the opening round.

Nick Robinson went 2-⅓ innings on the mound and was tagged with the pitching loss. Kason Miller also pitched, working 3-⅔ innings.
