Gratta Helps Panthers Defeat Imperials, 11-4
The Buckeye Local Panthers defeated the Chuluota Imperials, 11-4, at Imperials Ballpark. Buckeye Local was led by 19-year old first baseman Nick Gratta, who was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. Alex Martinez came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The left-hander allowed 2 runs on 2 hits in 3.1 innings. His record now stands at 1-0. The Panthers, now 25-29, have won 4 in a row.

Buckeye Local used the hitting of Alberto Canales to pick up the win. The center fielder clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Panthers on top, 7-0. For the game, Canales had 1 home run and 3 singles in 6 at-bats.

"I keep on showing up every day and trying to put up good at-bats and find good pitches to hit," said Gratta.
