It's playoff time, and Mohave had no trouble coming through when it counted. They put the hurt on the Bradshaw Mountain Bears with a sharp 13-1 win on Wednesday. Considering the Thunderbirds have won 11 contests by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Rilynn Bragg spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned run on four hits and racked up seven Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in six consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Kaydence Farnham was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with four RBI and two runs. Jahnezz Jones was another key player, going 1-for-2 with four RBI, one stolen base, and one double.

Mohave always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .667. The last time their OBP was this high was back in February.

The victory (which was Mohave's fifth in a row) raised their record to 16-10. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 11.0 runs over those games. As for Bradshaw Mountain, they have been struggling recently as they've lost eight of their last nine games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-11 record this season.

Mohave will face off against Sahuarita at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Mustangs' pitching crew has only allowed 2.5 runs per game this season, so the Thunderbirds' hitters will have their work cut out for them. Bradshaw Mountain does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
