Panthers Get Clutch Win Versus Chuluota
The Buckeye Local Panthers had to overcome a big game from Chuluota shortstop Jose Gallardo to leave Cincinnati Grounds with a victory. And they did, winning, 18-17. Gallardo was 4-6 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 4 and driving in 3. Buckeye Local pitcher Alex Martinez got the win, upping his record to 4-1. Kyle Young got the loss. The Imperials, at 28-61, have lost 7 straight games.

Up to bat in the bottom of the ninth, 18-year old third baseman Cory Kline had a chance to be the hero. Chuluota pitcher Josh Paul had other ideas. But with two outs, Kline drew a walk, driving in 1 run. The Panthers had themselves a dramatic win.

"It feels good to get this one," Kline told the Buckeye Local Daily.
