The Panthers were the clear victors by an 11-1 margin over the Warrior. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won seven games by eight runs or more this season.

Those 11 strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with four stolen bases and three runs.

Westampton Tech is on a roll lately: they've won eight of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 10-4 record this season.
