Leading up to Saturday’s Class AAA state championship baseball series, North Hall always found a way to come through with the big hit or play in the field when it needed it most. However, down one game in the best-of-three series against Cartersville, it was the Purple Hurricanes that found a way to win the close one in Gainesville. Tied 1-1 in the bottom of the seventh, Cartersville’s Beau Benefield led off and reached second base when his attempt at a bunt single resulted in a throwing error.
