The West Forsyth baseball team’s five-game winning streak was snapped on Friday after losing to the high-powered, No. 2-ranked Gainesville Red Elephants, 4-2. A win would have capped off a successful week, as the Wolverines had already beaten Flowery Branch, Darlington, and Pickens. The game featured two outstanding pitchers in Blake Burkett for West and Hunter Anglin for Gainesville.
