PENDER — Hartington had  to go into extra innings Saturday in order to claim its third win over Crofton this season.

The win proved to be the team’s biggest victory of the year as it came in the first round of the Class C American Legion Juniors State Baseball Tournament.

Hartington’s offense came alive late in Saturday’s first-round game to earn the 6-5 victory and advance to Sunday’s second-round contest at 7:30 p.m. Sunday.

Hartington, now 21-5 on the year, will take on Dannebrog-Cairo-Boelus in second-round action. The Grand Island area team has lost just two games this season.
