There was no dispute as to which one of Brandon Sewell’s home runs had a bigger impact Wednesday in Gainesville’s two-game sweep of Sequoyah during the second-round playoff series at Ivey-Watson Field. In Game 1, Sewell hit a solo shot to left field in the sixth inning when the Red Elephants (24-6) already held a big lead on the way to a 13-3 victory. In Game 2, Gainesville’s junior right fielder gave it the cushion it needed with a three-run homer off the scoreboard in left field in the top of the seventh, shortly before Sims Griffith roped a two-run single to complete the 8-3 win.
