Baseball: Region play dominates Wednesday schedule

By Jeff Hart Sports Reporter

All but three games on the schedule for Wednesday involve region play as things are beginning to heat up for Northeast Georgia-area baseball teams' quests for the playoffs.

Gainesville (7-4, 1-0 Region 8-6A) is off to a solid start and will play host to Habersham Central  (7-4, 1-1 Region 8-6A) in a key Region 8-6A matchup at Ivey-Watson Field. The Red Elephants can win the season series over the Raiders with a victory. North Forsyth (5-5, 1-0 Region 8-6A) travels to Apalachee also looking for a series win and to stay unbeaten in region play as well.

Region 8-4A will continue its subregion crossover games with No. 1 Cherokee Bluff (9-0, 3-0 Region 8-4A) hitting the road against No. 5 Walnut Grove (8-2, 2-1 Region 8-4A) in a battle of top five teams. However, the Bears will be playing for the third consecutive day. No. 8 North Hall (8-3, 1-2 Region 8-4A) travels to Cedar Shoals (2-7, 0-3 Region 8-4A) while East Forsyth (6-4, 2-1 Region 8-4A) takes on No. 2 North Oconee (7-1, 2-1 Region 8-4A) in Bogart. Chestatee (6-5, 2-1 Region 8-4A) will travel to Seckinger (4-6, 2-1 Region 8-4A).

Buford will travel to rival Dacula in Region 8-7A while Class 3A No. 10 Lumpkin County heads to Cleveland to take on White County to resume their region series. The Indians won the first 8-6 on Tuesday in Dahlonega.
