In game number two, Goss had two doubles, scored three runs, stole a base and hit a grand slam as the Fords powered past McDaniel 17-9. Goss set a new career-high with 5 RBI in the contest.

Overall on the week, Goss went 4-9 with six RBI, six runs scored, two doubles, two homers and 12 total bases. He slugged 1.333 and got on base at a .643 clip. The junior was also a perfect 3-3 in steal attempts.
