Knights Rally Falls ShortAt tonight’s Silver Knights game, fans enjoyed the clear night and an attempt at a late-inning rally as the home team took on the North Shore Navigators. The game ended
at 5–4, the Navs ultimately coming out on top.
With a slow start for the Knights, the game begin favorably for the Navs — in the first
inning, the visitors established an early lead at 2–0 and pushed it up to 5–1 by the end of the
sixth.
Thanks to an RBI single from Kyle Sandstrom #41 in the seventh inning and a two-run
homerun smashed by Luis Atiles #5 in the eighth, the Knights narrowed the Navs’ lead to
5–4.
The heat was on for the Knights to close the deal in the ninth inning. Dylan Jones #6 singled
but was thrown out by Navs catcher Colin Wetterau during an attempt to steal second. Kyle
Sandstrom #41 and Phoenix Hernandez #1 both singled as well, leaving first baseman Mike
La Rocca #30 to finish the job. With the winning run on first, La Rocca swung at the first
pitch and popped up a foul ball, which was caught by the Navs third baseman to end the
game.
Despite this last-minute push, the Knights were unable to overcome the Navs’ established
lead.
The Silver Knights conclude their home-game streak tomorrow with a doubleheader against
the Pittsfield Suns, with the Game 1 starting at 3 p.m. and Game 2 starting 45 minutes after
the conclusion of Game 1. |
