Gooding waltzed into their game on Thursday with three straight wins... but they left with four. They narrowly escaped with a win as the team sidled past the Filer Wildcats 8-6. The game snapped a strange streak: the last five times these teams have met, it?s been the away team that?s taken home the W.

Rogers was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 2-for-3.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jaelynn Patton, who scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3. She is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as she's now snagged at least one in each of the last three games she's played. Another player making a difference was Kodi Garza, who scored two runs while going 2-for-4.
