Extra-Inning Win by Panthers Over Captains
The Buckeye Local Panthers cut down the Tulsa Captains by the score of 8-7 in 11 innings. Much of the credit went to designated hitter Jim Unknown. Unknown was 2-5 with 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice for the Panthers. Buckeye Local pitcher Alberto Quijada got the win. He's now 5-3. Jim Unknown was tagged with the loss. The last-place Panthers have won 7 in a row.

The decisive blow was delivered by Nick Gratta in the bottom of the 11th when he hit a solo home run off 18-year old left-handed pitcher Jim Unknown to win the game for Buckeye Local. The home crowd went nuts.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Tulsa manager Jordan Nolasco. "But we decided not to take it."
