CARTERSVILLE — A first inning threerun homer by Cartersville’s Cole Crawford was more than enough run support for Nolan Elrod, who tossed a complete game, three-hit shutout in a 6-0 victory to even the Round 2 series.
The fifth-ranked Region 7 champion Hurricanes (25-7) bounced back from their first loss since February 28, a 19-6 loss in Game 1 of the April 29 doubleheader, which ended a 22-game winning streak.
Seth Suess, Slade Sweat and Walker Hudson recorded the Gators’ (21-13) only hits off Elrod (7 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 10 K, 2 BB, 1 HBP).
