AMARILLO, Texas - Devin Goodwin finished four for four with two home runs as the T-Bones put together their biggest run output of the season in a 17-8 victory at Amarillo National Bank Sox Stadium on Wednesday night.
Goodwin, who hit a two-run homer in the series opener on Tuesday, hit solo home runs in the sixth and seventh innings on Wednesday. He tacked on two singles in a perfect night at the plate.
Ray Sadler blasted a two-out grand slam in the sixth, his second grand slam of the year and his 15th homer overall. Rookie Spiker Helms had a big game as well, going three for five with three singles and three runs scored.
T-Bones starter Josh Rainwater (6-10) worked his way through seven innings. He allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits. In getting the win, Rainwater walked two and struck out six.
Kansas City’s previous high-water mark this season was 16 runs, which the club scored on June 23 against, coincidentally, Amarillo.
