North Platte tripled their money in the top half of the 5th with Chadron being held scoreless through five.

Broc Berry had a triple and Caden Buskirk had a double in the loss.

In extras, North Platte got one run in the top of the inning while Chadron was not able to continue the hot bats. Falling by a 9-8 score.
