Panthers Sneak By Imperials, 9-8
Neal Swanson was a vital contributor to the 9-8 Buckeye Local victory over Chuluota. The Panthers first baseman went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Buckeye Local reliever Jim Unknown picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Arthur Steedman was saddled with the loss. Chuluota has now lost 4 in a row.

Buckeye Local used a clutch hit from T.J. Garcia to get the win. The catcher drilled a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Panthers ahead, 9-8. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a doozy.

"This game had a little bit of everything," said Garcia.
