Panthers Beat Raptors, 5-2
The Buckeye Local Panthers got a strong performance from pitcher Nick Slover. Avenger stymied the Picture Rocks offense en route to a solid, 5-2 win at Cincinnati Grounds. Slover yielded 2 runs over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 4 hits, walked 1, and struck out 4. His record improves to 6-0. Picking up the save was 21-year old right-handed pitcher Freddy Valenzuela.

The Raptors had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Panthers going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 21-year old second baseman Luis Acosta came to the plate. Acosta hit a 2-run home run on a first pitch fastball from Picture Rocks hurler Eric Esposito. It was Acosta's 2nd home run of the year.

"Nick was exceptional and he pitched with a purpose," said Buckeye Local manager D.J. Whiteman.

Buckeye Local has a record of 58-81, placing them 5th in the Southern Conference East Division.
