Romo Slugs Panthers to 11-5 Win
Wichita took on Niskayuna in front of a lively crowd.

The Wichita Panthers stopped the Niskayuna Fighting Knights, 11-5, at Panthers Park. The Panthers got a big game from Gabriel Romo, who hit 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Dave Perez, now 1-0, was credited with the win in 2 innings of relief. He allowed 2 runs on 3 hits, while striking out 0 and walking 1.

An inflection point occurred with one out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when Panthers right fielder Jim Cook hit a fastball from Danny Ramirez for a 2-run single. Just like that, Wichita was up, 3-2.

"We hit the ball on the barrel," said Wichita manager Ross Meister.

With the win, Wichita lifts its record to 3-4.
