Defensive miscues costly in Tigers' loss at LFO

Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe built a 3-0 lead early and Adairsville managed only a single run in the third inning as the Warriors beat the Tigers 6-1 Tuesday night in Region 6-AAA play.

Adairsville pitchers Wade Dooley (4 IP, 4R, 1ER, 2H, 2BB, 1K) and Braden Powell (2 IP, 2R, 0ER, 0H, 2K) limited LFO to only two hits and two walks, but five untimely errors by the Tigers’ defense led to five unearned runs in the loss.

Adairsville managed only three hits. Kyler Smith (RBI), Evan Sanders, and Powell contributed one hit each. LFO remained unbeaten in region play at 5-0 while improving to 6-12 overall.

Adairsville (7-8, 2-3) will host the Warriors Thursday at 5:55 p.m.
