The North Platte Community College softball team scored six runs in the sixth inning to rally past Southeast Community College on Sunday afternoon.
“We played our hearts out today,” said NPCC head coach Janelle Higgins. “I am very proud of these young ladies for not giving up when it got tough.”
In the top of the first inning, the Knights had to work out of a jam as Southeast put their first two batters on the base paths. Nevaeh Ramirez went back to work in the circle and calmly struck out the next three batters.
