But it's just another example of not being consistent yet in all phases of the game. We seemed to give out of gas after we came back from the early deficit. They kept giving us chances to do more damage, but we didn’t seem like we had anything left in the tank.” Unable to bring the runners home, the Panthers lost 11-7. The next game for Jackson County is against Cedar Shoals. The Panthers will set Trevor Booth on the mound.
