“We’ve been working a lot on our hitting and going the other way. It’s about just buying into the process. Don’t always try to hit a home run, hit a line drive,” said Panther head coach Keith Touchstone. “We got good enough arms that if we can get fives runs we’ll always have a chance to win. It’s important winning the games that you’re supposed to win.””
