The home team had come away the winner the last six times Filer and Gooding had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Wildcats never let the Senators get on the board and left with a 10-0 victory on Tuesday. The Wildcats might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten games by six runs or more this season.

Bridger Phillips was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out six over five innings pitched. Phillips was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two runs.
