The Panthers played small ball in the third and came up successful as Sealy drove home Josh Jefferson for the3-2 advantage.  HBU moved ahead 4-2 in the bottom of the third and broke the game open as they combined to score six runs in the fifth and sixth frames.  A Robert Cossey RBI single returned the Panthers to the scoreboard in the eighth but that would end the scoring as HBU added two more runs in the bottom frame.

Sealy led the Panthers with a 2-for-4 outing which included two RBIs and pair of runs while Cossey added two hits and an RBI.  Pedro Maldonado fell to 0-1 on the season as he lasted 4.2 innings.
