Panthers Slap 6-3 Loss on Montgomery
The Wichita Panthers dealt the Montgomery Missions a 6-3 loss at Panthers Park. Mike Hedger was the star on offense. He was 2 for 2 with 2 singles and 2 walks. Juan Soriano earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 3 innings. He upped his record to 3-0. Eddie Clickner earned his 8th save, after closing out the game.

The Missions had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Panthers going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 23-year old first baseman Chad Grant came to the plate. Grant hit a run-scoring double on a first pitch slider from Montgomery hurler Willie Gonzales. It was Grant's 1st double of the year.

Wichita manager Ross Meister called it "a pretty good win."

The Wichita win streak is now 3 games.
