Ontario Sunrays (37-88) 0 0 2 1 2 3 0 0 0 8 13 0
Wichita Panthers (66-59) 0 1 4 0 0 0 4 0 X 9 11 0
Panthers Outmuscle Ontario, 9-8
George Gericke had a 3-RBI game, during Wichita's 9-8 triumph over the Ontario Sunrays. Gericke contributed 1 single and 1 home run to the cause. Picking up the save was Eddie Clickner, his 9th. At 66-59, the Panthers claim third place in the Sub League 2 Central Division.

Had Joe Gilbreath not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Gilbreath hit a 2-run single. That made the score 9-8, in favor of the Panthers.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager Ross Meister.
