Stigler put another one in the bag on Thursday to keep their perfect season alive. They walked away with an 11-7 win over the Wilburton Diggers. The Panthers have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Diggers, too.
Blake Goff was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. Goff was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with four RBI, two runs, and one double.
Goff wasn't the only one making solid contact as seven players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Landon Hodges, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two runs. That home run marked the first that Hodges launched this season. Another was Dakota Drewry, who scored a run while going 2-for-4.
Stigler hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now struck out at most three strikeouts in three consecutive contests.
