There's no place like home for Godley, who bounced back after a loss on the road last Saturday. Everything went their way against the Venus Bulldogs on Tuesday as Godley made off with a 10-0 victory. Considering the Wildcats have won 16 contests by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Tabor Anderson was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowed only two hits over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in four consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in all three of his plate appearances with one RBI.

In other batting news, Ryder Papasan and Byron McClure did most of the damage at the plate: Papasan scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3, while McClure scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in two of his three plate appearances. Crosby Carmichael was another key player, scoring a run and stealing a base.

Godley is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 13 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 21-4-1 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.6 runs over those games. This is the second loss in a row for Venus and nudges their season record down to 9-11.

Coming up, Godley will welcome Alvarado at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Alvarado's pitching crew has only allowed 3.4 runs per game this season, so Godley's hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Venus, they are taking a road trip to face off against Ferris at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
