ImageFor the 2nd game of my Panhandle Trip, I headed to Panama City to see the Arnold Marlins host the Walton Braves on Senior Night. Before getting into the game recap, I need to give a quick shoutout to Arnold SuperFan Justin for helping out with coverage during the game. 


Senior Ethan Gill got the ball for Arnold and dominated from the start, striking out 2 in the top of the 1st. The bats for Arnold got started early as well. Josh Lindsey led off with a single followed by an error and a walk. Cole Savage then drove in the 1st run of the game on an RBI single. 


Cooper Moss drew a bases loaded walk, followed by a Peyton Tompkins single to drive in 2 more, extending the lead to 4. Lindsey picked up his 2nd hit of the inning on an RBI single and Brayden Black also singled to push the lead to 8 after the 1st inning.


Gill struck out the side in the 2nd. Tompkins singled again to lead off the 2nd for the Marlins. Walks and a hit batsman added another run followed by a Brayden Black double to push across runs 10 and 11 for Arnold. Savage drew a bases loaded walk to bring in the 12th run. 


Gill continued to pitch well, working around a Grady Campbell single in the 3rd.


Ryan Laymon would double in the 3rd but nothing else doing for the Marlins. Gill struck out 2 more in the 4th and an additional 2 in the 5th to reach 11 for the game and complete his 5 inning shutout.
