Gainesville’s baseball team is taking a break from the early challenges of region play to compete against some of the top high school talent the country has to offer. Less than 14 hours after claiming a come-from-behind 4-3 win over rival Flowery Branch on Monday, the Red Elephants (8-2) loaded a bus Tuesday morning and headed for Cary, N.C., where they will compete in the 16-team USA Baseball National High School Invitational. There, the Red Elephants will face some of the nation’s best teams and top players in a single-elimination championship-style tournament.
