Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Maxwell). Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Williams Yellowjackets a 29-0 shutout on Tuesday. The victory continues a trend for the Panthers in their matchups with the Yellowjackets: they've now won nine in a row.

Levi Velasquez made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off three hits. Velasquez was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with three runs and three RBI. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April of 2024.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Edgar Izquierdo, who got on base in five of his seven plate appearances with three runs and four RBI. That's the most runs he has posted since back in March of 2024. Another player making a difference was Noel Velazquez, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with four runs and one RBI.

Maxwell kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least nine hits in three consecutive contests.

Maxwell's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 9-2. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.0 run on average over those games. As for Williams, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-9.

Maxwell didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next matchup, a 3-0 win against Mt. Shasta on the 9th. Hopefully Williams paid attention to the Panthers' game: the next time they hit the field, they'll take on the Panthers at 4:00 p.m. on Friday.
