Carden no-hits Braves

In the boys 9- and 10-year-old baseball league last week on the Hoover Milraney Field, the Cohutta Yankees slipped past McBrides Window Braves 2-1 in six innings.

The Yankees? Lee Carden threw a no-hitter, while fanning 13 Braves. Peyton Collins and Hunter Mullican worked three innings each, while facing 16 batter for the Braves, with Mullican taking the loss after allowing one hit. Collins struck out seven, while Mullican sat down five.

Both the Yankees and Braves went down in the first inning, but Cohutta Water sent one run to the plate in the top of the second taking the early lead.

The Braves scored one run in the bottom of the fourth to tie the game at 1-1. But in the top of the sixth the Yankees sent what would be the winning run across the plate as the Braves went down in the bottom of the sixth.

The Yankees? Glen Llewellyn picked up the only hit of the game.
