Slumping Panthers Lose Again
Soggy conditions did not keep Riverside and Buckeye Local from playing their scheduled game.

The Riverside Wolverines beat the Buckeye Local Panthers, 8-5, at Cincinnati Grounds. The win was due in part to catcher Ben Riffe, who went 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Javier Torres got credit for the win, improving to 2-3. He allowed 4 runs on 10 hits in 5.1 innings. Picking up the save was 19-year old right-handed pitcher Leonardo Vazquez.

The Wolverines got an important contribution from second baseman Mark Mauro, who in the top of the second knocked a 1-1 sinker to left for a 3-run home run. It was his 6th home run of the season and put the Wolverines ahead, 6-0.

"Everyone's kind of edgy right now," said losing manager Tyler Byrd, "but nothing a couple of wins wouldn't cure."

Now 2-25, the 2024 Panthers have been dreadful.
