Newport News Loss Tarnishes Fine Game by Hartfield
Runs were plentiful at Wranglers Stadium.

The Newport News Wranglers got a superb performance from first baseman Chris Hartfield, but the Wichita Panthers still won the game, 11-9. Hartfield was 3-3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 4. Rogelio Morales picked up his 1st save of the season.

Karl Aitcheson had a big 2-run double for the Panthers in the top of the fifth inning. With Wichita leading 6-5 and the bases loaded, he got a splitter from 21-year old right-handed pitcher Jim Unknown and swatted a double to left. It was his 7th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Panthers ahead, 8-5.

"It was one of those games where both teams were swinging the bat well," Aitcheson said.

The win elevated the Panthers to 26-22.
