The North Platte FNBO Juniors allowed Hastings to score five runs in the first inning on Tuesday and they never got back into it in an 11-1 loss at Bill Wood Field.
“So much of what we do hit-and-run, sac bunt, stealing bases, being aggressive and playing small ball is hard to do when you’re down 5-0 before you get a chance to bat,” Juniors coach Ryan Jones said. “If we’re going to be that kind of team, you can’t get in a big hole early because it stops us from being aggressive.”
