While Logan Burt patrolled center field against Fannin County on March 31, he knew he was about to be called on to pitch Dawson County out of a jam. The Tigers were already trailing 4-0 in the first inning, and the Rebels still had the bases loaded with nobody out. All season, Burt has been an ace for Dawson County (10-7, 5-7 Region 7-AAA) on the mound, and with the playoffs still in clear sight early last week, Tigers coach Thad Burgess made the call to put the ball in Burt’s hand under less-than-ideal circumstances for a reliever.
