Alpines Down Panthers, 8-5
The Wichita Panthers got a sterling performance from pitcher Matt Lavender, but the Savannah Alpines still prevailed, 8-5. Lavender threw 5.0 innings of 3-hit ball. Savannah reliever Erik Willis snagged the win, upping his record to 1-0. Jim Unknown shouldered the loss. The loss drops Wichita to 7-5.

Savannah got a knockout punch from Rafael Farrand. The center fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"Feels good to be on the winning side," said Farrand.
