Santa Barbara Wins to Cut Wichita Lead to 3-2
Already down in the Division Series, the Santa Barbara Super Troopers put on their best show, beating the Wichita Panthers by a final score of 4-3. Brad Porter was special. He threw 6.1 innings allowing 2 runs. Santa Barbara now trails Wichita 3-2 in the best-of-7 affair.

Santa Barbara used a timely hit from Christian Weatherspoon to get the win. The designated hitter stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the 12th inning to put the Super Troopers ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

Porter called the win "a collective effort."

Game 6 is scheduled for Friday at Car Ramrod Park in Santa Barbara.
