Big Day for Gruber as Panthers Down Green Knights, 10-8
The Wichita Panthers beat the Spring Park Green Knights, 10-8, at Ballpark of Spring Park. The win was due in part to left fielder Rick Gruber, who belted 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Spring Park is still trying to get off the schneid, having lost 6 in a row.

Wichita used the timely hitting of Bobby Sidener to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Panthers on top, 10-8. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"From the last whatever, five, six, seven games, there's really only one way to go and that's up," said losing manager Noah Lute.
