FLOWERY BRANCH — Even with two nationally-ranked teams, Region 8-AAAAA isn’t without the occasional baseball upset. Flowery Branch demonstrated that Thursday night, using a four-run third inning to surprise region leader Gainesville with a 5-2 win at Hog Mountain Sports Complex. Justin Seabolt, Drew Miles, Andrew Weekley and C.J. Navin each drove in runs during the key inning, and Jonathon Hughes pitched a complete game to earn the win on the mound and snap the Red Elephants’ 11-game winning streak.
