The female Panther of the Week is going to McKenzie Oslanzi from the softball team.

The freshman pitcher from Marseilles went 2-0 against the Southeast Missouri State University.

Oslanzi pitched 12 innings throughout the first game as the Panthers won 7-4 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri in the first game of the doubleheader on Saturday.

Although the Panthers lost the second game of the doubleheader, Oslanzi started the next game on Sunday as the Panthers beat the Redhawks 2-1.

The male Panther of the Week is going to Cole Gober from the baseball team.

The senior utility player from Mascoutah helped the Panthers win one of two games against the Arkansas State Red Wolves on Saturday.

In the seventh inning, Gober hit a home run while the bases were loaded to give the Panthers an additional four points.

Gober’s home run allowed redshirt junior outfielder Dylan Drumke, junior infielder Danny Infante and redshirt senior infielder Robby Taul to score as they were the three runners on base.

The Panthers won the second game 6-3 in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
