The result was an unpleasant reminder to the Panthers of the 6-4 loss they experienced in the pair's previous head-to-head fixture back in April of 2022.
Connor Detrick spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and one unearned) run on five hits and racked up six Ks.
At the plate, Midland Park saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Ralph Caprio, who went 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI.
