Loss Tarnishes Fine Performance by Gratta
Buckeye Local second baseman Nick Gratta had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Gratta belted 2 home runs, while scoring 3 and driving in 3, even as Haviland beat the Panthers, 11-9. Rafael Cruz earned the win to go to 5-6. He allowed 4 runs on 8 hits, with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts in 6.1 innings of work. Danny Flores locked down his 7th save.

Johnny Salazar took Buckeye Local hurler Alex Martinez deep in the top of the sixth. His 3-run home run put the Thrashers on top, 7-4. In all, Salazar had 2 singles in addition to the home run, while going 3 for 4.

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

The Panthers, at 39-43, have lost 5 in a row.
