NEDERLAND, Texas — Groves National gave up their first runs of the District 32 Tournament, but it didn't matter as they advanced to the 12U Championship by beating Nederland, 6-2.
Groves fell behind 1-0 in the first inning and struggled to get on the board for a couple at bats.
That would change in the third when they would breakthrough for five runs to take control of the game.
Nederland will try to bounce back tomorrow night at Port Neches in an elimination game with the winner hosting Groves National Thursday at 6 pm.
