For some reason, the away team has come away with the win the last six times Platteview and Nebraska City have met, but the home crowd finally got their W on Friday. Platteview's pitcher stepped up to hand Nebraska City a 10-0 shutout. That ten run margin sets a new team best for the Trojans this season.
Platteview got a great performance from Michael Quinn as he kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits over five innings pitched. The dominant performance also gave Quinn a new career-low in hits (zero).
At the plate, Cash Porter was a standout: he scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Dylan Thomas also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
Platteview always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .517. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Nebraska City only posted an OBP of .167.
