The North Platte FNBO Seniors collected only three hits on Tuesday against Hastings.
But that was enough for the Nationals to defeat their district rival, 5-3, at Bill Wood Field.
“The thing I liked is our situational at bats,” Seniors coach Ricky Holm said. “The outcomes weren’t there, we only had three hits. But I could tell a lot of guys were thinking situationally and they had good approaches out there. We had some timely hits today. It wasn’t the best as far as hits go but I thought it was the smartest game we played in the box.”

Kearney hands Seniors first loss

The North Platte FNBO Seniors couldn’t solve Kearney pitcher Lucas Wegner on Tuesday and they lost, 4-2, at Bill Wood Field.
“Give credit to the starting pitcher, he’s one of only a few we’ve seen this season that can throw that curveball for a strike,” Seniors coach Ricky Holm said. “It messed with our approaches a little bit. Our lack of approaches is something we need to work on. We had good pitching and defense but we need to work on that, overall.”
In the second inning, North Platte (6-1) went up when Will Coe hit a ground ball that went just under the glove of shortstop Karter Lee.
