While most of the crowd was attending the Prairie View Relays which was just hundreds of feet away, the Panther baseball squad were preparing themselves for the battle against conference foe Arkansas Pine-Bluff. Every game is just as important as the next, but the Golden Lions (3-15, 2-9) would prove to be just a “push over” as the Panthers (21-10, 10-1) humiliated them, in a two game series.
The second game got off to a fast paced start as Pine Bluff would quickly score their lone point in the game.
First at bat for the Panthers, Senior Michael Richard would be walked, but eventually score the first run for the Panthers off a single by Paul Johnson. Prairie View would end up scoring four more runs before the end of the first inning.
Two runs and two home runs later, one by Richard and the other by sophomore Greg Ford would propel the Panthers to an unrecoverable 9-1 lead.
The Panthers next face Grambling State in Grambling, La. The Tigers (13-20, 3-9) are currently on a three-game skid, and should be a easy defeat.
