Earlier this afternoon the Pendleton Panthers faced Dunedin High School from Tampa Florida.  In the second inning Dunedin scored one run on two hits off of Jimmy Oneill.  Soon enough on the bottom half of the inning, Casey Mullhalland hit a towering fly ball over the left field fence to tie the game up at snake eyes. Dunedin’s bat came alive in the next four innings, scoring four runs on seven hits and one error.  Then came the bottom of the fifth Joe Daru led off the inning with an infield single, then came up Gavin Patton.  Patton took the first pitch, then swung like there was no tomorrow and hit a line drive home run over the center field wall to make it a 5-3 ball game.  The Panthers held Dunedin at the top of the sixth, then the Panthers scored two off of walks and timely hitting to tie the game.  The exciting game went into extra innings and neither team scored before the sun went down.  Even though we did not win the game it was still played greatly by both teams.
