Panthers Win, Gratta has 4 hits
Buckeye Local second baseman Nick Gratta was instrumental in helping the Panthers triumph, 11-5, over the Chuluota Imperials. Gratta was 4 for 4 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Hiroshi Matsui, the winner, is now 1-1. He struck out 8 and walked 1 over 6.1 innings, while allowing no runs on 3 hits. The Imperials, now 6-16, continue their sluggish start.

With Buckeye Local leading 2-0 in the bottom of the second, Gratta hit a cutter from Roberto Morales for a 2-run double. It was his 13th double of the season and put the Panthers ahead, 4-0.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Gratta said. "We did a good job of that today."
