Gainesville Baseball Continues Losing Streak, Falls At P.K. Yonge

The Gainesville High School Hurricanes were defeated by the P.K. Yonge Blue Wave, 8-1, Tuesday at Bobby Hawkins Field. The city baseball teams split the two-game series, with Gainesville taking the first one 8-0 last month at Tiny Talbot Field.

Gainesville’s losing streak is now extended to three games for a 6-6 record. Having been outscored 28-6 during this skid, the scoring woes continued against P.K. Yonge (8-6).

Sophomore BJ Johnson got the start from coach Adrian Ramos. This would be the second matchup for BJ against his brother, Blue Wave sophomore starting third baseman Darius Medley.

P.K. Yonge jumped out to a quick 2-0 advantage thanks to a two-RBI single from sophomore Tyler Belleville in the first inning.
