Panthers Earn 6-5 Win Versus Alpines
Wichita beat Savannah at Alpines Stadium, eking out a 6-5 win. The win was due in large part to first baseman Mikkel Goldbaek. He went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. With the win, Wichita has a record of 64-62. Savannah falls to 52-74.

The game was at a stalemate until left fielder Jimmy Zanghi came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Savannah pitcher Jim Hart, he hit a 2-2 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Wichita on top, 6-5.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Goldbaek. "You've got to get results."
