Defense for the Knoxville Baseball Squad was again a major reason why the Panthers won the South Central Conference for the second straight year. The Panthers had a 927 fielding percentage with 70 errors committed. Knoxville also had six Gold Gloves as well, keeping up with a tradition that the Panthers have never won a conference title in their history without at least five Gold Gloves. Coach Joel Johnson tells KNIA/KRLS Sports while his guys were not the most athletic team around, but they did a solid job in the field. The Panthers finished the year 19-18 and 15-3 in the South Central Conference.
