4/19 Game 1 vs. EnergyThe season started off strong on a gorgeous Spring night. Batting in the top of the first, the first 8 Knights to the plate all reached base safely and came home to score. Unfortunately, some season-open rust showed and our fielding and subsequent base-running lacked a little polish. We came back in the top of the 5th to take the lead, but couldn’t quite hang on.
Final: Energy 15, Knights 14
Kudos to Dave Dziok who went 3 for 3 with 3 runs scored. 4/19 Game 2 vs. EnergyWe bounced back in game 2. Down 4-6 going into the bottom of the 3rd, we sent all ten Knights to the plate, scoring 7, capped off with CJ’s
grand slam – the season’s first home run. Our defense stiffened, allowing Energy only one more run in the next two innings, while tacking on 7 more of our own – resulting in the season’s first win.
Final: Knights 18, Energy 7
Kudos go to CJ, with the big bat and some pretty solid play at second. Also to Jorge for going 3 for 3 with 2 runs scored and some solid defense in left field.
