Wichita Wins at Home to Take 2-1 Lead in DS
Riding the 5-hit performance of second baseman Rob Price, the Wichita Panthers stopped the visiting Santa Barbara Super Troopers, 18-3, in Game 3 of the Division Series. Price went 5-6 with 3 doubles and 2 singles. He scored 5 times and drove in 3 for the Panthers, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 2 games to 1.

Andre Henderson swatted a 3-run home run for Wichita in the bottom of the fourth. The left fielder went 3 for 5 for the game, including 1 home run and 2 doubles. He scored 3 runs and batted in 6.

"It's true for every sport, I think, but the playoffs are so short that you've just got to get in and get hot," Wichita manager Ross Meister told BNN after the win. "We took care of the first part and now we're just working on the second."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Panthers Park in Wichita.
