Shamrocks Win Squeaker, 15-14, Over Panthers
The Sikeston Shamrocks beat the Wichita Panthers, 15-14, at Shamrocks Park. Steve Amparan, in particular, was impressive. He was 2-4 with a home run, a triple, a walk, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 4 times and drove in 4. The winner was Sikeston reliever Daniel Hernandez, now 1-7. The loser was Jim Unknown. Sikeston is now 66-46.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Sikeston shortstop Vince Banger, facing Jim Unknown, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Shamrocks the 15-14 win.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Amparan told the Sikeston Bulletin.
