It may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Omaha Westside ultimately got the result they hoped for on Thursday. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past the Papillion-LaVista South Titans 6-4. This was payback for the Warriors, who suffered an 8-5 loss the last time these two teams met.

The team relied heavily on Baylee Heffernan, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. She also put up a double, which was her first of the season. Manuela Kate was another key player, going 1-for-3 with one home run.

They weren't the only ones working in the home run department: Omaha Westside lost a few balls and finished the game with two home runs. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now launched at least two home runs in three consecutive matchups.

Omaha Westside moved to 7-3 with that win, which also ended their three-game losing streak. As for Papillion-LaVista South, their record now sits at 5-3.

Both squads will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Omaha Westside will head out to take on Omaha Central at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. The Warriors' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Eagles have averaged an impressive 9.7 runs per game this season. As for Papillion-LaVista South, they will venture away from home to square off against Lincoln Southeast at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Knights have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 13 runs per game on average), something the Titans will no doubt try to take advantage of.
