A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Bridgewater Buccaneers and Whitman Panthers.

The Bridgewater Buccaneers had no problem beating the Whitman Panthers, 11-3, at Panther Park. Gary West led the way. He went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 3 runs for Bridgewater. Dave Muscat recorded the save, making him 1 for 1.

Geoff Clifton went 2 for 6 with a double for Bridgewater. The 26-year old second baseman had a key at-bat in the top of the second. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring single off Tom Geissler. It was his 155th hit of the season.

Bridgewater manager Manager O.C. commended his team for "putting the pedal to the metal."

The Panthers, at 66-85, have lost 5 in a row.
