On Friday, March 25 the team took on Putnam at home and lost again—9-4. It was the first time the ‘Canes ever lost to this team with Coach Doug Huff at the helm.

The ‘Canes held the lead through the first three innings, but let it slip away as they committed a season-high number of errors.

Coach Huff said, “Anderson and Dunagan pitched well enough to win, but we just couldn’t make the routine plays. We just have to keep practicing and keep playing, and we’ll win.”

On Tuesday, March 29, the team made the long trip to Augusta again for a game scheduled against Josey, only to have to turn around and return home with clean uniforms because the umpires failed to appear.

Their next game is tomorrow, April 1, vs. Greene at home with a 6:30 p.m. start following a JV home game at 4:30 p.m. On Tuesday, April 5, they play another home game vs. Laney at 4:30 p.m., then go on the road Wednesday, April 6, to play Northeast at 4:30 p.m.
