Kevin Cook posted a new career-high in strikeouts on Thursday. He struck out six batters over five innings while giving up no earned runs off four hits. He is becoming a predictor of Portland's success: when he allows at most two earned runs the team is 4-2 (and 8-17 when he doesn't).

Cook's strong effort led Portland over Springfield and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The Yellow Jackets are limping into the matchup having lost four straight on the road. There's no doubt they're looking for a change of fortune, but will Cook and the Panthers have enough to stop it?
