Woodland improves to 4-0; Adairsville falls at Dalton Invitational
What was planned as a busy weekend tournament for both Woodland and Adairsville, the Dalton Invitational Tournament struggled with the rain disruption and severe weather Friday and Saturday.
Both local teams only played one game each as a result.
Woodland stayed unbeaten on the season Saturday with a victory over Dade County and Calhoun shut out Adairsville.
WOODLAND 12, DADE COUNTY 4
The Wildcats surged for a dozen runs on eleven hits Saturday to beat Dade County at the Dalton Invitational, 12-4.
Pitchers Peyton Dorn (2 IP, 0R, 1H, 1BB) and Ashlynn Baines (3 IP, 4ER, 3H, 1BB, 1K) combined in the circle, limiting the Wolverines to four earned runs on four hits and two walks. All the Dade County runs came after Woodland had built an early 9-0 lead.
Elizabeth Hartsfield had two hits including a three-run home run in the second inning to give the Lady Cats a 9-0 advantage. Jordan Hammonds (double, three RBIs) and Ashlynn Baines also finished with two hits. Kamryn Smith and Taylor Adcock both doubled while Bailey Ryan, Haley Collum, and Harley Hannah contributed one hit and one RBI apiece in the win.
KK Castleberry hit a three-run homer for Dade in the fifth inning.
Woodland (4-0) is scheduled for a busy week. The Lady Cats host Southeast Whitfield Monday at 5:30 p.m. They visit Calhoun Tuesday, and Pace Academy Wednesday, before entertaining Hiram on Thursday.
CALHOUN 8, ADAIRSVILLE 0
The Yellow Jackets used a big fourth inning Saturday, aided by a pair of Adairsville miscues, to defeat the Lady Tigers 8-0 in five innings at the Dalton High Invitational.
Calhoun was up 1-0 before adding seven more runs in the decisive frame.
Meanwhile, Calhoun pitchers Athens Hudson and Avery Greeson combined for a no-hitter and three strikeouts.
Adairsville utilized three hurlers — Chelsea Bates (3 IP, 1ER, 1H, 2BB, 2K), Jordan Clay (0.1 IP, 7R, 2ER, 3H, 1BB), and Ashlyn Carlton (0.2 IP, 0R, 0H) in the loss.
Adairsville (1-3) has three home games scheduled for the upcoming week. The Lady Tigers host Cedartown Monday at 5 p.m., Armuchee Tuesday, and Sonoraville on Thursday.
