Gainesville coach Jeremy Kemp got just the response he needed out of his team in the nightcap of Monday’s state semifinal doubleheader against Ringgold. After losing Game 1 of the best-of-three series 4-3 — the second-ranked Red Elephants’ first loss of the season — Gainesville stormed right back with a 12-2 win in five innings to keep its state championship hopes alive. With the split, Gainesville (32-1) will play host to Ringgold (28-6) at 3 p.m. today at Ivey-Watson Field to determine which team will move on to the state championship series this weekend against the Columbus/Troup winner.
