Scottsbluff JRs vs Chadron

Chadron started the extended holiday weekend with a spark in the final inning to walk-off the Scottsbluff JRs 5-4.  After being hit by a pitch and with two outs, Jordan Bissonette stole second base and later scored on a single by Trey Williamson to win the game.

Scottsbluff had built a 3-0 lead in the third inning and kept Chadron scoreless until the Nationals plated their first run in the fifth.  The Nationals took a brief 4-3 lead with three runs in the sixth but allowed Scottsbluff to even it up in the top of the final inning before the comeback win.

Shane Frye limited Scottsbluff to only two hits in the game and struck out 13 in his complete seven-inning performance.

Seth Gaswick went 2/2 and drove in two Chadron runs.

Scottsbluff SRs 8, Chadron 0

KJ Hartline and Jerod Balthazor teamed up on the hill to limit Chadron to only three hits in Scottsbluff's 8-0 win Thursday night.  Hartline got the start and went four innings, allowing two hits and striking out five.  Balthazor pitched the final inning and struck out two.

The Zephyrs put some distance between the teams early in the first inning with a five-spot, all coming with two outs.  A Chadron error led to the first run, a hit-by-pitch made it 2-0, the third run came in on a wild pitch and Chris Snelling iced the cake with a two-run single for a 5-0 lead.

Scottsbluff is 3-7, Chadron dips to 4-4.
