West and Northwest were locked in a tight game until the fifth inning, when the Senators scored six runs in the inning to take a large seven-run lead. By the end of the game, West added three more runs in the seventh inning to defeat Northwest 12-3.

The Senators broke away in the latter innings of the game to get an all-important conference win.

Matney knocked in four runs, leading the team, and scored three runs. Bays had a trio of RBIs, while scoring once. Maynard scored three times and knocked in a pair of runs, while Wiltshire had one RBI and scored once.

Wiltshire also came in to relieve Knittel in the seventh inning, to close the game. He struck out one batter during his inning on the mound.

West will meet Northwest again on Friday at Northwest. Game time is set for 5:00 p.m.
