The Lady Canes won two of three games this past weekend as they hosted the Canes Classic at Dellinger Park. Cartersville dropped a 6-1 decision to Lambert on Friday night, but bounced back on Saturday to blank Pace Academy 13-0 and Northwest Whitfield 8-0.

Lambert Longhorns’ pitcher Faith Doolen limited the Lady Canes to just one run on five hits and two walks on Friday night. Zoie Shiflett had two hits and one RBI for Cartersville. LaKiaya Banks, Izzy Tummins, and Avaree Sellers had the Lady Canes’ hits.

Shiflett (5 IP, 5R, 2ER, 5H, 1BB, 1K) suffered the pitching loss. Presley Crabbe (2 IP, 1R, 0ER, 1H, 3K) also pitched for Cartersville.

Crabbe tossed a four-inning no-hitter to beat Pace Academy. She struck out eight and issued two walks. Tummins threw a five-inning one-hitter to defeat Northwest Whitfield. She walked four and fanned two.
