It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Pahranagat Valley had no problem doing just that on Thursday. Everything went their way against the Pyramid Lake Lakers as they made off with a 12-4 win. The result was nothing new for the Panthers, who have now won 20 contests by six runs or more so far this season.

Hadee Walch made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out eight over seven innings pitched. That's the most strikeouts she has posted since back in May of 2024. She was also solid in the batter's box, going 3-for-5 with one stolen base and one run. She has been hot, having posted at least one stolen base the last eight times she's played.

In other batting news, Cami Cannon and Shada Spencer did most of the damage at the plate: Cannon went 2-for-4 with three RBI, one triple, and one run, while Spencer got on base in three of her five plate appearances with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. That's the most RBI Cannon has posted since back in April. The team also got some help courtesy of Paisley McVey, who went 1-for-4 with three runs and one double.

The victory (which was Pahranagat Valley's sixth in a row) raised their record to 22-8. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games. As for Pyramid Lake, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 16-9.
