Wendell's loss was their first in the conference, dropping their conference record down to 3-1 and their overall record down to 11-7. As for Gooding, their defeat dropped their record down to 3-11.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Friday as neither team is afraid to steal. Gooding has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 5.9 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Wendell struggles in that department as they've been averaging 6.1 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Gooding got the 'W' in their previous meeting two weeks ago against Wendell by a conclusive 22-14 score. Do the Senators have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Trojans turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
