Panthers Win at Home, 7-1
The Wichita Panthers defeated the Savannah Alpines by the score of 7-1, with the biggest share of the credit going to catcher George Gericke. Gericke was 1-2 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Panthers on the day. Brian Wilson, now 1-0, was credited with the win in 3 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 2 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 0. Wichita has 4 straight wins, Savannah 3 straight losses.

Gabriel Romo had a big 2-run home run for the Panthers in the bottom of the second inning. With Wichita leading 2-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from 20-year old right-handed pitcher Daniel Diaz and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Panthers on top, 4-0.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Romo told the Wichita Bulletin.
