ARLINGTON, Texas - Daulton Varsho drove in a pair of runs with a triple in the eighth inning to put away a 5-2 victory for the Milwaukee baseball team against UT Arlington Friday night at Clay Gould Ballpark.
 
The Panthers (7-6) got a pair of strong pitching efforts to top the Mavericks (6-8) and snap their four-game winning streak in the process.
 
"That was a really good win tonight against a good team," Milwaukee head coach Scott Doffek said. "We played with great energy and focus. Schulfer was good again tonight, despite feeling a little under weather. He gritted it out and we came up with some really good at bats and some big hits when we needed it."
 
Austin Schulfer (3-1) won again, allowing two runs in seven-plus innings, walking one and striking out seven.
 
Brandon Parr picked up the save with an excellent relief outing, throwing 2.1 scoreless frames, allowing no hits. He worked around three walks and struck out four.
 
Parr was called on in a key spot, getting a strikeout with the bases loaded in the seventh inning to keep the lead at 3-2.
 
Varsho, who finished 2-for-4 with those two RBI and a run scored, then drilled a 1-0 pitch to the wall in right center in the eighth, extending Milwaukee's lead to 5-2 at the time.
 
Parr made it interesting in each of the final two innings. A pair of walks gave the Mavericks runners on first and second with one out in the eighth. A pitch later, UWM was out of it on a nifty 6-4-3 double play.
 
In the ninth, a walk and a hit batter brought the tying run to the plate with no outs. Parr responded with strikeout-strikeout-strikeout to end it, all swinging.
 
The Panthers ended with nine hits. Chris Kelly had a pair, including a triple to lead off the game, and scored a run.
 
Kelly came home on Devin Rybacki's double and it stayed that way until UWM doubled the cushion to 2-0 on a sac fly off the bat of Mike Jordahl in the fifth. UTA got one back in its half of the frame, but the two-run cushion was again extended on a base-knock by John Boidanis in the top of the seventh, driving in Varsho to make it 3-1 at the time.
 
The Mavs finally got to Schulfer in the seventh, with Parr coming on to do the rest.
 
Schulfer pitched well, only running into trouble in the third inning. After a single, hit batter and error loaded the bases with two outs, Schulfer calmly struck out the next batter looking to hang on to his 1-0 edge at the time.
 
These two teams are right back at it tomorrow, first pitch moved up an hour to 1 p.m.
