GROVETON — The Indians had no trouble with the Yellowjackets Friday, downing Alto in two games ended by the run rule.

Groveton won 16-1 in the first game and 20-6 in the second.

Ty Torregrossa, Jackson Cathey and Jack Sullivan each had 2 hits apiece to lead the offense, with Torregrossa claiming a 2-run triple.

Torregrossa also dominated on the mound, allowing only 3 hits while striking out 2.

In the second game, a 12-run third inning again put the game out of reach, and in the fifth, Groveton added 7 more runs for the win.

Torregrossa, Brody Thornton, Tanner Steubing and Jack Sullivan each had 2 hits apiece to lead the offense.
