Panthers Get Past Niskayuna for 12-11 Win
The 12-11 Wichita win over Niskayuna was due largely to Rick Gruber. The Panthers first baseman went 1-1 with 3 walks, while scoring 3. The win belonged to Jim Unknown in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Brent Conway took the loss for Niskayuna. Niskayuna is 4-3 after the defeat.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Wichita center fielder Aaron Anderson, facing Brent Conway, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Panthers the 12-11 win.

"It's what good teams do, find a way to win," said Anderson.
