The solid pitching performance combined with timely hitting, gave the Panthers a 9-2 win over the Greyhounds.

Game 2:

He would end up giving up 9 runs on 9 hits, in 2 innings pitched. The Panthers found themselves on the wrong end of a 9-0 deficit after only 2 innings of play. However, the Panthers would not go away quietly. Relief pitcher Adam Birch came into the game and kept Neosho County in a ballgame.
