Cartersville continues to hold down the No. 5 spot in Class AAAA in the Georgia Dugout Preview Magazine high school baseball poll for the week ending April 1. The Hurricanes are one of four teams from Region 5AAAA in the Top Ten in Class AAAA. LaGrange is No. 2, Troup is No. 4, and Cedartown is No. 7 in this week’s poll.

Central-Phenix City scored five runs in their final two frames Saturday to upend visiting Cartersville, 7-6.

Central-Phenix City scored their seventh-inning runs on three singles, a fielder’s choice, a walk, and a catcher’s interference call that resulted in the game-winning run off relief pitcher Anthony Seigler. Preston Welchel, Devin Warner, and Dickey hit home runs for the Canes, which accounted for all of Cartersville’s runs.

Cartersville is now 15-6 on the season.

The Georgia Highlands College baseball team split a doubleheader Saturday at LakePoint with visiting Andrew College in a pair of one-run games. The Chargers won 3-2 and the Tigers won 6-5.
