TRUSSVILLE A third game won’t be necessary.
The No. 1-ranked Hewitt-Trussville baseball team opened up its postseason run at home on Friday with a two-game sweep of Grissom. The Huskies (28-4) followed a 3-2 win in the early session with a 6-3 series clincher in the nightcap to march into the Class 7A quarterfinals.
The Area 6 champions will host Hoover next week in the second round after the Bucs swept sixth-ranked Bob Jones on Friday night.
“We haven’t played them this year, but this is what you want in the playoffs,” said Hewitt-Trussville pitcher Skylar Jones. “You want to play the best of the best. It makes me want to get after them.”
