Lady Canes win showdown with Calhoun; Woodland blanks Cass
Kennedy Crenshaw’s RBI, and walk-off single in the bottom of the eighth inning lifted 9th-ranked Cartersville to a 6-5 win Tuesday night over 4th-ranked Calhoun.
The dramatic win was possible only due to Cartersville scoring twice in the bottom of the seventh inning. A Reese Dumas single and a Calhoun defensive miscue plated a pair of runs that sent the game to an extra inning.
Zoie Shiflett pitched all eight innings for Cartersville to earn the win in the circle. She scattered eight hits and six walks while striking out two. One of the Jackets’ runs was unearned.
Crenshaw led the Canes’ offense with three hits and two RBIs. Jordan Bishop and Allana Williams followed with a pair of hits each. Shiflett (double), LaKiaya Banks, Dumas (RBI), and Erin McCrary tossed in one hit apiece.
The loss drops Calhoun to 7-5-1 overall and 4-1 in Region 7-5A.
Cartersville (7-3, 5-0) hosts Carrollton on Thursday in a non-region game.
