It's playoff time, and Argonaut had no trouble coming through when it counted. They put the hurt on the Bret Harte Bullfrogs with a sharp 7-1 win on Friday. The Mustangs might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 15 games by six runs or more this season.

Hailey Dewald spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on five hits and racked up eight Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in seven consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Catie Strieff, who went 1-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run. Another player making a difference was Bri Bowers, who got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one stolen base, one run, and one RBI.

The victory was the sixth in a row for Argonaut, bringing their record up to 22-5. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.5 runs over those games. As for Bret Harte, their loss dropped their record down to 9-12.

Looking ahead, Argonaut will host Colfax at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The Mustangs are on a seven-game streak of home wins, the Falcons a four-game streak of away wins, meaning someone's leaving a streak behind. Bret Harte does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
