The pitching depth for Gainesville is pleasing to coach Jeremy Kemp and could serve the program well in the postseason. Caleb Whitenton threw the first three innings without allowing a hit and reliever Harrison Styles came on in relief to retire the final six hitters in order for a five-inning no-hitter and 13-1 victory against Cedar Shoals on Wednesday at Ivey-Watson Field. The Red Elephants (19-6, 13-2 Region 8-AAAAA) earned the Region 8-AAAAA championship by way of second-place Loganville’s 10-9 loss to Salem on Wednesday night.
