The North Platte FNBO Seniors scored two runs in the sixth inning to pull ahead of Kearney on Monday and they held on in the seventh to get a 10-8 victory at the Area 7 tournament in Kearney.
The win moves North Platte (33-18) into the district championship, where they will play Hastings on Tuesday. With the top 2 finish in districts, the Nationals also qualify for the state tournament next week.
Kearney (20-15) struck first when Nolan Smith hit a two-run double to left field off Cole Wright in the first inning. Wright was pulled from the mound shortly thereafter in favor of Jaylan Ruffin.
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.
