Panthers Pull Out Late Win, 3-2
In a low-scoring contest between the Wichita Panthers and the Niskayuna Fighting Knights, Hector Mendoza was the X factor. The Wichita right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. The save was Danny Espinoza's, his 2nd. Wichita is now 6-0.

Mikkel Goldbaek delivered a big hit for Wichita. The first baseman drilled a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to put the Panthers ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit, but it was a beauty.

"We just didn't score enough runs to win," said Niskayuna manager Jonathan Anderson.
