OAKWOOD — Gainesville is a team that thrives when it finds some momentum. No game highlights that point any better than Monday when the second-ranked Red Elephants had two grand slams and 10 batters drove in at least one run in a 24-5 win against Johnson. “That’s the kind of game that makes a statement that we’re a good hitting team,” said Gainesville senior Ryan Griffith, who broke the game wide open with his fourth-inning grand slam and finished with five RBIs.
