Broken Bow Falls to Central City in Area 6 Tournament
The Broken Bow American Legion seniors baseball team fell to Central City 8-1 Saturday at the Class B Area 6 tournament. Central City led 1-0 after three innings but then scored six runs in the fourth inning to pull away.

Bow’s lone run of the game came in the bottom of the fourth when Brice Chaplin came across the plate to score. Coy Wardyn had two of Broken Bow’s five hits finishing 2 for 3 on the night.
