The Panthers defeated the Harvard Crimson today by a score of 9-3. Will Campbell had an odd first inning allowing 2 runs on 2 hits, 2 walks and 3 steals. He settled in and pitched another 5 innings allowing a total of 6 hits and 3 runs. Our outstanding freshman Sam Agnew-Wieland entered and pitched a quick 2 innings allowing only 1 hit and recorded 2 strikeouts, I know, what's new. Zach Chastain closed the game for the Panthers in the 9th. Zach has now pitched 5.1 innings without giving up an earned run.
I give the game ball on offense to Joey Wood after going 2-for-3 with 4 RBI's including a 2-run HR to left center field in the 5th inning. Joey received the start in left field today to allow Brett Maxwell the day off. Drew Shields had a productive game going 3-for-4 and driving 2 runs. Mark Micowski, Rob Lind and Carter Sackett also had a multi-hit day at the plate.
Box Score: 3 Runs, 8 Hits and 1 Error for the Crimson; 9 Runs, 14 Hits and no Errors for the Panthers
The Panthers host out-of-conference Murray State for a 3-game series Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Game times are at 6 PM, 1PM and 1PM respectively. Sunny skies ahead so wear the sunscreen when you get out there this weekend, especially on Saturday. Should be in the upper 70's for tomorrow's first pitch, sitting around 80 on Saturday and Sunday will be a little cooler in the high 60's.
Look for the series preview tomorrow.

Diamond Panthers Play Long Ball to Down Mercer
The trend of the away team taking the victory continued today as the Panthers win at Mercer, 14-5. This game featured another great pitching effort by the Panthers and the offensive breakout we hoped for.
Starting pitcher Aidan Francis gave up 4 earned runs off 3 home runs. Because of the power in the Mercer lineup, keeping people off base was a key to this game. Francis fanned 8 and walked only 2 batters in his 4.2 innings. Charley Olsen saw his first action of the season as he came in relief. Olsen went 4 innings giving up 1 run (unearned) and striking out 7 while only walking 1. Josh Chesler came in to get a pop fly to right field for the final out of the game. In total, the pitchers gave up 4 earned runs, striking out 15 and walking only 3.
Have a day Rob Lind! Rob went 2 for 6, both hits for home runs in the 6th and 7th inning, picking up 5 RBIs. Ryan Fleming and Carter Sackett also went deep collecting 3 RBIs each. It's good to see the power come around. The Panthers batted .400 with runners in scoring position.
The one area of the game that went wrong today was with fielding. The Panthers recorded 5 errors on defense, luckily this didn't hand the game over to Mercer. I have a feeling there's going to be some major fielding drills going on in the next few practices.
The Panthers are now 4-0 on the season. Western Illinois comes into town Friday for a 3 game series. Game times are at 4 PM, 1 PM and 12 PM. Western Illinois plays in NCAA D1 The Summit (league) and will come in 0-3 after being swept at Samford to open the season.
