Fort Stockton Community Theatre had a successful run of the comedy “Mama Won’t Fly,” written by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten.
It was close, and then it wasn’t.
Fort Stockton trailed 4-3 after 2 1/2 innings in their first game of the regular season on Tuesday against Presidio at home.
Then the Panthers took control of the contest and never looked back with an 11-run third inning that propelled them to a 16-4 victory in a five-inning contest due to mercy rule.
