In a rain-shortened affair at Bill Wood Field, the North Platte First Nationals seniors defeated Hershland 11-7 in five innings last night. The high-scoring affair saw the visitors jump out to a first inning lead, but North Platte responded in a big way to take an 8-4 lead after three innings of play. Hershland tallied three times in their half of the fourth to cut the First Nationals lead to one, but North Platte added insurance before the inclement weather moved in and brought the game to a halt. The win is the fourth in five games for the First Nationals, who improve their record to 17-12 on the season. They travel to Lincoln for a tournament this weekend. Prior to the game, the Leadership Awards for the North Platte legion program were handed out. Ty Brockmoller from the juniors and Taylor Williams from the seniors were honored.
