Soaking wet after a five-inning stint on the mound Monday, Caleb Whitenton did everything possible to ensure Gainesville got back into a first-place tie with Loganville in the Region 8-AAAAA standings. The Red Elephants’ starting pitcher threw three-hit ball, even through a steady rain that started in the second inning, and reached base in all four plate appearance as part of a 7-2 win over Loganville at Ivey-Watson Field. The win was almost a must to stay in the region title hunt after Gainesville lost the first game against Loganville 4-0 last Friday.
