Knights Season Comes to a Close

 The Knights fell short in Lynn on Monday, losing by 1 run and coughing up an early 5 run lead. The Knights started the game on fire, as they ripped off 4 straight hits to start the ballgame and hang up 2 runs in the first inning. After starter Evan Christopulos (Bentley) tossed a scoreless first inning, the offense came back out in the 2nd and picked up right where they left off as Dylan Jones (FPU) hit a sac fly to push the lead to 3. Jared Dupere (Northeastern) later doubled in 2 more runs, giving the Silver Knights a commanding 5-0 lead through 2.

The Navs offense was sure to click however, and it did as they scored 2 in the 2nd inning and tacked on 1 more in each of the following two innngs. 

Nashua entered the 7th inning holding a 6-4, however the turning point in the ball game came when reliever Kyle Skidmore (Hofstra) was pulled with 2 outs and 2 on after giving up an RBI bloop single into center field. Joe Quintal (Fordham) entered for the Knights and gave up a 3-run homerun to Morris, flipping the game on its head; 8-6 Navs.

The Knights were able to push another across in the top of the 8th as Dupere scored on a wild pitch to cut the lead down to 1. However, Nashua would go quietly in the 9th, bringing the 2019 season to an end for them.
