The Mavericks jumped ahead in the first inning behind a three-run double from Paul and a two-run single by Ingram, building a cushion they never relinquished. Gooch earned the win with four strong innings, allowing one hit and one run while striking out seven, and Richardson added two scoreless frames in relief.
