Iowa to Lose Panther for 4-5 Months

Jim Panther had to wait several agonizing days to find out his diagnosis after suffering shoulder inflammation on 04/27/1970. Today he received word from the Iowa doctor that he would be out the rest of the year. Team officials called it a huge setback but something they would have to overcome.

Panther has 2 saves with a 1-1 season record and a 2.57 ERA. He also has 9 relief appearances, thrown 14 innings and struck out 6.
