Late Rally by Panthers Secures 9-5 Win
The Buckeye Local Panthers, with some walk-off drama, delighted their fans at Cincinnati Grounds.

A good performance from second baseman Nick Gratta helped the Buckeye Local Panthers defeat the Picture Rocks Raptors, 9-5. Gratta went 3-5 with 2 home runs, a double, and a walk. He drove in 6 runs and scored twice for the Panthers. The 4th-place Panthers bumped their record to 18-24.

Gratta delivered in the clutch for Buckeye Local. In the bottom of the ninth, he took a 2-1 slider from Picture Rocks pitcher Jim Unknown and parked it over the fence. The grand slam home run won it for Buckeye Local.

"This game was intense," Gratta said, postgame.
