Bentonville High 8, North Little Rock 5

The Tigers scored six runs in the sixth inning to secure their first win of the season at the Tiger Athletic Complex on Friday.

Bentonville (1-3) trailed 5-2 when it came to bat in the sixth inning, but five hits, three walks and a North Little rock error led to six runs. Justin Hines delivered the big blow with a two-run double for the Tigers that plated Jackson Huskey and Kyle Knight.

Nathan Lyons, Cameron Duncan and Cade Lastovica each had two hits for Bentonville.

Lyons, Austin Garrett and Ryan Kneeshaw all combined to limit North Little Rock to five hits. Garrett earned the win and Kneeshaw locked down the save with a perfect seventh inning.

Bentonville will open 7A-West Conference play at home Monday against Fayetteville.
