"Come on out for Youth Baseball Night" in Osceola - Hot Dogs only 75 cents!

Tonight the Knights travel to Osceola to play against the Braves under the lights, at a beautiful park, and in front of an expected large crowd.  This will be the third year the two teams have faced off and every match has been full of excitement.  First pitch is at 7:30pm.

In 2010 the Knights would lose 13-9 despite a first inning 3-run HR from Frank Matteson who would also hit for the cycle in the game, and doubles from Steve Thompson and Dan Koopmeiners.  They would out hit the Braves but would lose behind 17 free passes given by their pitchers.

In 2011 the Knights would lose 3-2 in a pitcher's duel where Shane Moore would pitch 7 strong innings allowing only 1 earned run on 4 hits and walking only 1 batter.  He would be pulled to save his arm for an upcoming league game.  The Knights would lose the game in the bottom of the 9th on a walk off single.

Knights Patience Leads to Comeback Victory

On a hot night in front of a few hundred people in Osceola, the Knights seemed to be asleep through the first 5 innings falling behind 4-0 early.  But patience at the plate would pay off in the 6th when the first 3 Knights would reach base on hits followed by 3 more hits and 6 runs in the inning.  The team would take a 6-4 lead and wouldn't look back. Matteson would cruise to his 4th victory on the season going the distance for the complete game victory and allowing only one walk in his 9 innings.  Dan Piilola would come through once again with big plays in the field and at the plate. He would go 2-3 with a double, a walk, a hit by pitch, and 2 RBIs.
