Norfolk sweeps Juniors
Sports
Norfolk took both games late on Sunday as they swept the North Platte FNBO Juniors, 5-4 and 7-4, at Bill Wood Field.
“I think our inexperience came out today,” Juniors coach Ryan Jones said. “They were a little high on themselves after yesterday and I don’t think we were as ready to play today as we were yesterday. It was a couple of close ballgames. It could’ve went either way and unfortunately, we lost both of them.”
In the first game, North Platte (2-2) went up in the first inning when Cooper Hill hit a two-run double that landed near the foul line in left field.
Juniors sweep Columbus

The North Platte FNBO Juniors opened the season on Saturday by beating Columbus, 3-2 and 9-1, at Bill Wood Field.
It was the Legion baseball debut for all 12 players on the Juniors. The Juniors didn’t have a season last year, due to COVID-19, as the North Platte program chose to field just one team.
“It’s huge, none of the kids on the team played a Legion baseball game,” Juniors coach Ryan Jones said. “With what happened with COVID last year, it’s a new team and we’re very young. To go 2-0 against a team that had a really good high school season, that says a lot of the potential we have.”
