Preparing for a late-round playoff series requires a little creativity on a coach's part. With five days before the second round sweep of Sequoyah and the best-of-three quarterfinal series today against Starr’s Mill, Gainesville coach Jeremy Kemp called for an intrasquad scrimmage last Friday to work out the kinks and give his pitchers some time on the bump to prepare for their third straight season in the third round of the postseason. So far, the Red Elephants’ pitching staff has fared well in the postseason, but it’s never a good idea to let arms get too cold with a talented Starr’s Mill coming to Ivey-Watson Field for the Class AAAAA quarterfinal round today.
