Tonight the Knights were on the road again as they made the trip to Worcester to play the Bravehearts, who are currently atop the Futures League standings., For Nashua, they are coming off their first win in eleven games, as they snapped their ten-game losing streak last night.
With the momentum of the win last night, the Knights were looking to carry it into today; however, in the end, they would lose a close battle to the Bravehearts as they fell 6-3.
Nashua was propelled by their bullpen in this game; however, the start was not great for them as starter Andrew Chenevert would run into some trouble early. Chenevert, who has been one of the most reliable arms for Nashua, would start the game great as he was able to get three up and three down in the 1st. In the 2nd and 3rd innings, however, is where the trouble would come. Following his lockdown inning, the starter would let two runs score as Worcester capitalized on two doubles to start the frame.
In the 3rd, Chenevert would not fare much better as he would let up two runs; however, one was unearned as the Knights committed an error to let a runner aboard. This would end the day for the Knights starter as he showed a decent outing in his limited innings.
The Knights’ big inning offensively was in the 5th as they were able to get multiple runners aboard, which would lead to them scoring two runs and cutting the deficit in half.
The bullpen would come in following their starter and do their job, as they only allowed two runs in four innings of work. Hunter Ward and Kevin Rourke would each let up one run on the day, as Ward would go four innings and Rourke would go just one.
The Knights would get one more run late on a Jake Haarde single, however, it was too little too late as the Worcester offense was too great to overcome. The Knights will look to bounce back tomorrow as they look to start the end of their road trip on a high note.
