The North Platte Bulldog softball team all but secured a chance to host a district playoff with an 8-5 win over Gothenburg last night. Six different Bulldog hitters drove in runs, with Sally Hengen’s two-run single the big blow in a six-run third inning that gave North Platte the lead for good. For the Swedes, Katlin Harm and Ashley Eskew had two hits apiece. North Platte moves to 15-9 with the win. The Swedes fall to 21-5. North Platte competes at the GNAC Tournament in Scottsbluff on Saturday.
