Panthers Beat Mt. Vernon, 6-5
The Wichita Panthers needed 12 innings to beat the Mt. Vernon Cyclones, 6-5, at Mt. Vernon Grounds. Jim Cook, for one, had a fine performance. He was 3 for 4 with a double, 2 singles, and 2 walks. The second-place Panthers lifted their record to 72-61.

Wichita won the game in part because of Aaron Anderson. The center fielder ripped a solo home run in the top of the 12th inning to put the Panthers ahead, 6-5. For the game, Anderson had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"Our goal is to improve each and every day," Anderson told the Wichita Today.
