For whatever reason, it's the away team that's had the advantage when Onalaska and Tomah meet (four straight games heading into this one) and that held true again on Thursday. The Hilltoppers put the hurt on the Timberwolves with a sharp 8-1 victory. Considering the Hilltoppers have won three contests by more than six runs this season, Thursday's blowout was nothing new.
Jagger Banasik spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on four hits.
