Panthers Stop Wranglers, 8-4
The Wichita Panthers beat the Newport News Wranglers, 8-4, at Panthers Park. Wichita shortstop Karl Aitcheson banged out 1 single and 2 doubles, while driving in 2 runs. The win puts Wichita at 9-7.

The Wranglers had been locked in a 4-4 tie with the Panthers going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 21-year old first baseman Mike Hedger came to the plate. Hedger hit a 2-run double on a 1-1 slider from Newport News hurler Sergio Romero. It was Hedger's 2nd double of the year.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Aitcheson said. "We did a good job of that today."
