Gainesville has found a comfortable groove that has worked to perfection in the playoffs. For the third consecutive round of play in the Class AAA state tournament, the second-ranked Red Elephants (31-0) hit for power, had two strong pitching performances and won their best-of-three series with a two-game sweep. On Wednesday, Gainesville swept its quarterfinal matchup with 11-1 and 12-1 victories against Carrollton (19-14) at Ivey-Watson Field, setting up a state semifinal matchup with the LaGrange/Ringgold winner starting Monday in Gainesville.
