Panthers Snatch Late-Game, 8-7 Win
The Buckeye Local Panthers turned back the San Bernardino Flight, 8-7, at Cincinnati Grounds. Nick Gratta, in particular, had a fine performance. He was 2-5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4. Roberto Ahumada snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits over 2 innings. He's now 1-0 on the season. San Bernardino, at 18-34, has lost 4 straight.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher Aaron Wilson came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing San Bernardino pitcher Vicente Hernandez, he hit a 1-0 cutter for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Buckeye Local on top, 8-7.

"It wasn't our best performance," said Wilson, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
