A couple others did figure it out. When using .write, it's not adding
the extra "\n" whereas with .println, the "\n" was adding an extra
line so that was the issue.

Realistically, these two statements work exactly the same:

outFile.print(String.valueOf(list[i]+"\n"));
outFile.write(String.valueOf(list[i]+"\n"));

but this one gives me and extra line:

outFile.println(String.valueOf(list[i]+"\n"));

That was the issue, the "\n". It wasn't needed when used with
.println.
