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.
