Bartow County Junior Little League (14U) completed a perfect 4-0 run through the 2022 Georgia Junior Little League State Tournament Thursday night in Hartwell by blanking Athens in the title game, 17-0.

It was Bartow’s fourth blowout victory in the tournament and all the wins were shortened by mercy rule. The locals had a previous 23-1 win over Athens along with a 15-4 win over Elbert County and a 15-1 win over West Point.

Meanwhile, the offense took care of business scoring 13 runs in the first inning. Bartow added three insurance runs in the second inning and one more in the fourth.
Harrison Cole paced the Bartow offense with three hits including a pair of doubles. Dutch Hernandez also finished with three hits. Barrett Fuller contributed a pair of hits including one triple. Isaac Burnett, Elisha Moore, and Hudson Parr also had two hits each. Lyle Woody produced a double while Landon Cassidy and Zaylon Cochran added one hit apiece.
