Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Onaga walked away with it. They blew past the Doniphan West Mustangs 8-2 on Tuesday. The result was nothing new for the Buffaloes, who have now won 18 matches by six runs or more so far this season.

Willow Hochstedler spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on four hits and racked up 11 Ks.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Addison DeChant, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. Ember Conger was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.

Onaga pushed their record up to 20-7 with the victory, which was their seventh straight at home. Those home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 13.0 runs over those games. As for Doniphan West, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-7 record this season.

Onaga has already played their next game, a 12-2 victory against Valley Heights on the 20th. Doniphan West does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
