A match up of class 4A ranked teams will be featured on the softball side of Panther Drive tonight, while the baseball squad heads to Principal Park in Des Moines for a non-conference clash with Gilbert. The Panthers are on a two game winning streak after sweeping Centerville on Friday and stand at 7-3 on the season while Gilbert, after losing several key members of its squad from last year have returned to also go 7-3. Panthers Coach Turner Devore tells KNIA/KRLS Sports that the State Tournament is now no longer at Principle Park, his team will take any chance they can to play there.

Devore: “With the State Tournament no long at Principal Park we’re going to let the guys have a little fun, and I’m not sure how the pitching going to go with such a busy week.”

Listen for tonight’s action on 95.3 KNIA with the pre game set for 4:45 and the first pitch at 5:00. On Panther Drive in Knoxville, it is a battle to class 4A ranked opponents as #14 Knoxville hosts #6 Bondurant-Farrar tonight. The Panthers will try to rebound from a loss to Centerville on Friday and Coach Carla Smith says a win tonight would go a long way to bolster her team’s confidence not to mention their postseason profile. First pitch is scheduled for 7:30.
