Going into Game 3 of the state semifinals, Houston County’s prolific offense had not scored less than four runs in any of its 32 games this season. Gainesville didn’t have any better luck containing the Bears on the 33rd attempt — not with Houston County’s first trip to a state championship series on the line. Georgia Tech signee Blake Jackson — Houston County’s Game 1 hero — delivered a two-run double to deep left field in the sixth inning, and the second-ranked Bears tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the seventh to rally past the top-ranked Red Elephants 7-4 on Tuesday at Ivey-Watson Field.
