Eager fans turned out for a matchup between the Whitman Panthers and Middleboro Minutemen.

Whitman first baseman Corey Cates played a vital role in his team's 7-5 conquest of Middleboro. He was 2-5 with a home run, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for Whitman. Picking up the save was Mike Leeper, his 25th.

In the top of the ninth inning, Whitman got a key at-bat from Cates. With one out, a runner on 1st and the Panthers trailing 5-3, Cates hit a 2-run home run.

"We'll just keep our nose to the grindstone," Cates told the Whitman Daily News.

Whitman is now 63-71, while Middleboro is 67-67.
