Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Wiley). They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Granada Bobcats 17-16. The win continues a trend for the Panthers in their matchups with the Bobcats: they've now won four in a row.
Grant Mauch was a standout: he went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and one stolen base. He is becoming a predictor of Wiley's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is 2-1 (and 0-4-1 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Kendale Mauch, who scored three runs and stole three bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
