Baseball: Close calls doom North Forsyth in second round loss
NF GSchubiger 050516 web
Beneath its own scoreboard, North Forsyth’s baseball team listened to head coach Jim Cahill try to put in to words the maelstrom – both literally and figuratively – the Raiders had just endured in 2-0 and 7-6 losses to South Cobb on Wednesday in the second round of the Class AAAAAA playoffs. Cahill knew it was not time to talk about the single innings in each game where promising circumstances went to ruin, or the blustery rain in the second game that was at its worst when North had a chance to save its season, or how achingly close the Raiders still came each time to finding a way. The facts were the facts: South Cobb (18-13) advanced to the state quarterfinals to face Pope, while North ended its season at 19-11.
