Walk-Off Seals 74th Victory for Panthers
Wichita Panthers starter Mark Montgomery found his groove in his team's 4-2 win over the Santa Barbara Super Troopers. Wichita pitcher Danny Espinoza got the win, upping his record to 4-7. Tommy Roman got the loss. Wichita bumps their record to 74-63 with the win.

Wichita got a knockout punch from Jim Cook. The right fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"It's great when the crowd gets into it," Cook said.
