Panthers upset Eagles on the road

Body

Fort Stockton leadoff hitter Adrian Hernandez and freshman Gerry Diaz led the Panthers to a 10-2 victory on April 21 at Pecos, tallying three hits apiece in their second-to-last regular season contest.

The Panthers plated seven runs in the final inning to secure their third district win and snap their four-game losing skid.
