Buhl was handed a heart-breaking two-run defeat in their last matchup, but they sure didn't let that happen against Gooding on Monday. The Indians never let the Senators get on the board and left with a 13-0 win. Considering the Indians have won eight games by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.

Remington Higley and Broc Caldwell made a big impact while hitting and pitching. Throwing, Higley didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out six over four innings pitched. Meanwhile, Caldwell tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Higley has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in five consecutive appearances. At the plate, Higley went 1-for-3 with four RBI, one run, and one double, while Caldwell scored two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. That's the most RBI Higley has posted since back in April of 2024.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Chase Craner, who scored two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. Miguel Flores was another key player, scoring two runs while going 1-for-2.

Buhl always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .531. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Gooding only posted an OBP of .111.

Buhl is on a roll lately: they've won nine of their last 11 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.4 runs over those games. As for Gooding, their loss dropped their record down to 6-5.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Buhl beat the Senators by a score of 7-2 later that day.
