The Cleveland Panthers will head out on the road to take on the Southeastern Mustangs at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Southeastern took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Cleveland, who comes in off a win.
The home team had come away the winner the last three times Cleveland and Holly Pond had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Panthers blew past the Broncos 13-2 on Monday. That 11-run margin sets a new team best for the Panthers this season.
Grayson Beavers made a splash no matter where he played. He pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, going a perfect 3-for-3 with two stolen bases, three RBI, and one run. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high.
