BASEBALL
The Cedartown Bulldog’s entered last weekend’s three game stretch with a .500 record of 3-3. However, the Bulldogs dropped all three games and now sit at 3-6 going into Region 6-AAA play Monday against Cass (6-3, 0-0).
The good news for Cedartown is that all six of those losses have came to teams from higher classifications. Woodland, a playoff contender in Region 7-AAAA was the catalyst for Cedartown’s losing streak.
On Saturday, March 20 the Wildcats defeated Cedartown 7-0. During the win, pitcher Nathan Vinyard one hit the Bulldogs.
The hard throwing left-handed Vinyard had a no-hitter through 5 and 2/3 innings before Brett Lane singled for Cedartown’s only hit. Vinyard pitched the complete game shutout allowing one hit while striking out 10.
On Monday, March 22 the Wildcats of Woodland High erupted for 11 runs as they downed Cedartown 11-1. The other loss during the three-game losing streak occurred on Friday, March 19 when Hiram (also from Region 7-AAAA) defeated Cedartown 6-3.
The Bulldogs, who have not lost a game to a team from the AAA classification, will return to action Monday when they travel to Bartow County to face the upstart Cass Colonels.
Cedartown continues region play on Wednesday, March 31 when they host Villa Rica at 4 p.m. The Bulldogs close out the week on Friday, April 2 when they travel to Carrollton to face the Central-Carroll Lions at 5:30.
