For some reason, the away team has come away with the win the last five times Gooding and Wendell have met, but the home crowd finally got their W on Tuesday. The Senators blew past the Trojans 15-8. That's the second time they've managed to beat them this season, as they also won 17-3 two weeks ago.
Kaylee Silver spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered eight runs (all of which were unearned) on seven hits and racked up 11 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances.
At the plate, Mady Morris was a standout: she went 3-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI. That triple marked the first that she hit this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Kodi Garza, who went 3-for-5 with four RBI and one run.
Gooding was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .394. They are 5-1 when they post a batting average of .375 or better.
