Colonels win series opener at Southeast Whitfield

March 26, 2025

Zach Stiles had three doubles and three RBI at Southeast Whitfield Wednesday night.

Cass baseball's first game of this week’s three-game series with Southeast Whitfield was pushed back 24 hours due to a shortage of umpires on Tuesday, but the Colonels' bats were ready in a 9-1 win in Dalton.

Cass scored five runs in the top of the second inning and added on late to secure their victory.

The early runs were enough for pitchers Hunter Lovett (5 IP, 0R, 2H, 0BB, 9K) and Nic Wright (2 IP, 1ER, 2H, 0BB, 1K), who combined to scatter four hits and compiled ten strikeouts.

Zach Stiles led the Colonels’ offensive attack with three doubles and three RBI. Dustin Warner (double, RBI) and Wright (triple) had two hits. Landon Lamb (RBI), Lovett (RBI), and Trenton Elario contributed one hit. Chase Tatum drove in one run.

Hunter Lovett struck out nine in five innings and earned the pitching win for Cass at Southeast Whitfield.

The Raiders fell to 4-15 overall and 1-9 in Region 7-AAAA.

Cass (8-10, 3-7) will host a doubleheader with Southeast Whitfield on Friday, starting at 5 p.m.
