Whitfield comes up short at Dixie state

Whitfield County will have to wait until next year for a Dixie state baseball title.

The Whitfield County Parks and Recreation Department’s last remaining team at the 10-and-under state tournament at Mountain Park in Lilburn lost on Tuesday as Whitfield National fell to Macon, 17-13, in seven innings.

Whitfield National overcame a 10-run deficit to tie the game in the fourth inning, but lost when the elimination game went to the extra inning.

The team finished seventh among 16 teams at the tourney. Spencer Hawkins went 3-for-3, Caleb Womac was 2-for-2 and Riley Griffin was 2-for-3 on Tuesday.
