He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Panthers. Alex Arredondo, 1-0, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. Zack Scott closed out the game, earning his 2nd save.

With Wichita leading 1-0 in the bottom of the second, Gruber hit a run-scoring single off Mt. Vernon hurler Jeremy Stewart. It was the 52nd hit of the season for Gruber and put his team ahead, 2-0.

"You can't hate how you win if you win," said Wichita skipper Ross Meister.

By defeating Mt. Vernon, the third-place Panthers improved to 23-19.
