Panthers Beat Newport News, 5-4
The Wichita Panthers downed the Newport News Wranglers, 5-4, in 11 innings at Wranglers Stadium. The Panthers were led by Joe Gilbreath. Gilbreath was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Wichita pitcher Eddie Clickner earned the win, hiking his record to 1-1. J.D. Hennis suffered the loss. Wichita has a record of 12-8.

Wichita used the timely hitting of Karl Aitcheson to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Panthers on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"If you want to be considered a good team, these are the kind of games you have to win," said Wichita manager Ross Meister.
