Northwest entered their tilt with Huntington on Thursday with five consecutive wins, and they'll enter their next game with six. They were the clear victors by a 15-3 margin over the Huntsmen. The result was nothing new for the Mohawks, who have now won nine matches by eight runs or more so far this season.

Kamryn Journey made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She tossed four innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off four hits. She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one walk any time she's pitched this season. She was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with four runs and one double.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Mollyann Runyon, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three runs, and two RBI. Another player making a difference was Kendra Bostwick, who went 2-for-3 with three RBI and two runs.

Northwest always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Huntington only posted an OBP of .300.

Northwest pushed their record up to 9-2 with the victory, which was their seventh straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.3 runs over those games. As for Huntington, they have been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-8 record this season.

Northwest will be playing in front of their home fans against Peebles at 5:00 p.m. on Friday. As for Huntington, they will head out to challenge Trimble at 5:15 p.m. on Friday. The Tomcats have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.83 runs per game on average), something the Huntsmen will no doubt try to take advantage of.
