Loechler Stars in 8-1 Win for Whitman
The home crowd had a good time watching the Halifax Hitmen and Whitman Panthers get after it.

The Whitman Panthers defeated the Halifax Hitmen, 8-1, at Panther Park. Leading the charge for Whitman was shortstop Dave Loechler. He went 3-4 with a home run and a triple. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Tom Geissler was the winning pitcher. Over 6.1 innings, he allowed 1 run on 5 hits, with 1 walk and 7 strikeouts.

Randy Dobson had a big 2-run home run for the Panthers in the bottom of the third inning. With Whitman leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from 38-year old right-handed pitcher Zach DiCarlo and punished it. The result was his 14th home run of the season, which put the Panthers on top, 3-0.

"Nice to keep our winning streak intact," said Dobson.

Whitman has won 4 straight, while Halifax has lost 3 in a row.
