The timely hitting of Karl Aitcheson helped the Wichita Panthers down the Newport News Wranglers, 10-4. Aitcheson went 3-4 with 2 home runs for the Panthers. Jesse Soto, now 4-2, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. With the win, Wichita goes to 60-56, while the Wranglers fall to 62-54.

Wichita used the clutch hitting of Rick Gruber to snag the win. The designated hitter drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Panthers ahead, 8-4. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"I'm just looking to see the ball, hit the ball," said Gruber.
