The Panthers four game undefeated streak to start the 2010 season was ended by the potent bats from Knights Corner in a 6-1 loss. Knights lead off hitter Rob Vitullo lead off the game with a single, but was quickly erased from the base paths by a double play turned by #17 Matt Martiniello and #99 Shawn Donnelly. Shutting down the Knights in the top of the first the Panthers looked to take an early lead. They did just that as clean up hitter #13 Brandon Rogers launched a 2 out triple to left center field scoring the first run of the game (#17 Matt Martiniello), and putting the Panthers up 1-0 early. The lead was short lived as the Knights scratched a run across the plate in their next at bats with a single, sac bunt and RBI double.
Panthers bounce back to beat Sting
Coming off their first loss of the season the Panthers looked to get back into the win column against the veteran Sting team. The Panthers started the game off with a bang in the bottom of the first inning. A lead off single by #57 Ryan Jones was followed by a deep blast to left centre field for a 2-run home run by #17 Matt Martiniello. An early 2-0 lead was just what the team needed after only managing 1 run in their previous game.
