North Platte proved they can win big on Saturday (they won by eight) and on Thursday they proved they can win the close ones too. They had just enough and edged out the Chadron Cardinals 5-4. That's the third time they've managed to beat them this season, with their most recent win being a 7-4 victory on Saturday.

The team relied heavily on Aryadnna Reyna, who went 1-for-4 with one home run and three RBI. Another player making a difference was Lauren Bowers, who went 3-for-4 with one run, one double, and one RBI.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: North Platte kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. They are 7-2 when they post 11 or more hits.

North Platte is on a roll lately: they've won five of their last six matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-11 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.8 runs on average over those games. As for Chadron, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost four of their last five games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 12-11 record this season.

North Platte wasted no time getting back out on the field and has already played their next contest, a 12-5 victory against Gering on the 25th. Chadron has also already played their next matchup (against Scottsbluff), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
