A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Ft. Wayne Earthquakes and Buckeye Local Panthers.

The Ft. Wayne Earthquakes beat the Buckeye Local Panthers, 7-1, at Cincinnati Grounds. Ft. Wayne third baseman Marc Brooks had the hot bat. He went 2-3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4. Javier Palos, the winner, is now 1-0. He struck out 6 and walked 2 over 5 innings, while allowing 1 run on 4 hits. The save was credited to Danny Wilkinson, his 2nd.

Ft. Wayne used the timely hitting of Kan Yamagata to capture the win. The center fielder socked a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Earthquakes ahead, 4-1. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"It was a tough night at the plate," said Buckeye Local manager Seung-soo Chun.

Buckeye Local, at 6-19, is off to a poor start in 2026.
