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.”
