BY JAMES BARRETT [email protected] LISBON — The “bull dog” mentality of the Lisbon baseball team has been developing all season long and it shows no signs of stop- ping. Coming into last week the Panthers were undefeated. Following the week it still remains true. Before the Panthers 10-run ruled the Ca- naan-Pittsburg Yel- low Jackets on a soggy Thursday afternoon, the Panthers found an- other win versus the Lin-Wood Lumberjacks. Although the Lumber- jacks offered a bit more resistance than the Yel- low Jackets, the Pan- thers were still able to keep their sluggers hot and their pitcher’s arms rested. The game started out well for the Panthers defensively.
