Pennington, Predators Too Much for Ninjas
With second baseman Mike Pennington leading the charge, the Topeka Predators defeated the New York Ninjas, 13-5, at Confucius Field. Pennington, who is tied for 8th in the FFL in triples with 3, was 4-4 with 2 doubles, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 4 runs. Dave Smith was the winning pitcher. Over 5.1 innings, he allowed no runs on 2 hits, with 4 walks and 5 strikeouts. Topeka is third in the Ford Frick League Junction Jack Division with a record of 31-30.

Morihiro Yamasaki didn't waste any time giving his team the lead. His first time up in the top of the first, he cranked a 3-run home run to put Topeka on top, 3-0.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Pennington said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
