Free Falling Green Knights Drop 10th Straight
The Wichita Panthers earned a close win over the Spring Park Green Knights, thanks in part to Matt Lavender. The Wichita right-hander, who is tied for 10th in the SL2 in wins with 7, played a key role in the 3-2 victory. The winner was Jesse Soto in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Jim Unknown took the loss. The Green Knights, now 34-54, have lost 10 in a row.

Jimmy Zanghi was the walk-off hero for Wichita. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Panthers left fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"I tried to establish all my pitches early," said Lavender.
