Allatoona remained undefeated in thrilling fashion Monday night, scoring a comeback 4-3 win at Lassiter on a bases-clearing triple by Taylor Shultz.

Down 3-1 entering the seventh after a solo homer in the sixth by Lassiter's Collin Strovinskas, Allatoona loaded the bases in the top of the seventh for Shultz, who sent them all home with a triple down the left-field line.
