Again the Panthers jumped out to an early 3-0 lead as Bryan DuPont, Connor Roberts, and Cameron Sissom hit consecutive doubles as the Panthers sent 8 hitters to the plate in the first inning. Devin Rogers did what he could to keep the Hawks at bay, but a big 3 run double in the 2nd inning gave them the lead. The Panthers had chances to pull closer, but couldn't get the hits to fall with runners in scoring position. The Hawks went on to win by a score of 12-4.

The Panthers will travel back to Rockwall tomorrow to begin bracket play with the Forney Jackrabbits. A win in that game could bring a much anticipated rematch with the Hawks on Saturday.
