A bad case of strep throat left Michael Gettys less than 100 percent for Gainesville’s first round playoff series. His arm, on the other hand, looked as good as ever. Gettys allowed two earned runs, five hits and a walk while striking out 14 through six innings in Game 1 of Gainesville’s 7-4 victory over Tucker, while teammate Caleb Whitenton delivered a strong performance of his own on the mound in Game 2 to lead the Red Elephants to a 12-1 win and a sweep of the Tigers on Friday at Ivey-Watson Field.
