Northwest uses late surge to top Valley

Apr. 27—McDERMOTT — The Northwest Lady Mohawks made the magic happen in their final three at-bats during Tuesday's 10-3 victory over Valley in Southern Ohio Conference Division II play.

Entering the top of the fifth tied 1-1, Northwest (10-9, 7-5 SOC II) scored the game's next nine runs — three in the fifth, four in the sixth, and a pair in the seventh.

Northwest tallied 12 hits as a team, including a team-high three from sophomore leadoff hitter Janeatte Mustain.

A home run by freshman Mollyann Runyon in the top of the fifth plated a pair of Lady Mohawk runs.

Valley (6-7, 6-4 SOC II) freshman Braxtyn Holbrook had two of the Lady Indians' seven hits as a team — and scored their final run in the home half of the seventh.
