Cade Henderson, Pernell and White all shared mound duties with White preserving the win for Morgan.
Offensively for the Senators, Martin Wilkinson stole the show reaching base four times with three hits and one RBI. Harrison Jones added a single and a double with several other Senators adding base hits.
