Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 The weather was a chilling 39 degrees for the first pitch at Hudson Field today as Neosho started their 2013 season.  The cold weather couldn't cool off the Panther bats as they swept a double header against Brown Mackie College, 11-1 in game one and 11-1 in game two.  Both games were completed in 5 innings due to the 10 run rule.

In the first game, sophomore Chance Sinclair threw all five innings, giving up only three hits while striking out nine Lions.  The panthers pounded out eleven hits, with Connor Goedert and Jake O'Brien leading the way.  Goedert had two hits and drove in two runs, and O'Brien added two more hits with three RBI's, including a bases clearing double to end the game in the bottom of the 5th.  Freshman Justin Warned also added two hits and two RBI for the Panthers.
