Cyclones Popped by Panthers, 6-2
The Wichita Panthers topped the Mt. Vernon Cyclones, 6-2, with youngster Rick Gruber playing a key role. Gruber went 2 for 2 with a double and 3 walks for the Panthers in the win. Jim Unknown collected his 1st save. Wichita is now 48-38.

Wichita used a well-timed hit by Mike Hedger to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Panthers ahead, 3-0. Though it was his only hit in 6 at-bats, it was important.

"Feels good to get the job done," Gruber said after the game.
