Tigers, Carter dominate Gordon Central

Orry Carter pitched a three inning, perfect game and Adairsville needed only two frames on offense Tuesday night to dispose of Gordon Central, 23-0.

Adairsville scored three runs in the bottom of the first and sent 26 batters to the plate in the bottom of the second to score 20 runs.

Garrett Mishoe had three hits, including a double, scored three runs and drove in one to help lead the Tigers’ offense. Lane Griffith had two hits including a grand slam homerun and four RBI. Sam Seaman (2 RBI) and Hunter Hice (RBI) had two hits each. Caden Gibbs and Justin Green drove in two runs apiece. Landon Howren, Noah O’Kelley, Hayden Morrow (RBI), Drake Arp (RBI), B.J. Roper (RBI), and Carter (RBI) contributed one hit each.
