Back to Scores

Doug Hoffman is coming back from being on the DL for a month and will be taking the mound for the Knights tonight against the Inver Grove Heights Diamond Kings. Hoffman relies on throwing strikes and changing speeds to keep batters off balance and lets his defense make plays behind him. The Knights have lost 6 games straight going into the game and look to turn around their season.

After being on the DL for a month, Knight's pitcher Doug Hoffman comes back to throw 4 no-hit innings of baseball to finish with 5 strong innings of work. Hoffman gets his first win of the season on his first start of the season (1-0) and lowered his ERA to 4.66.

The Knights offense was at full throttle against the Diamond Kings. Clean up hitter Frank Matteson lead the first inning off with a 3-run 370 foot home run to left center. He ended his day going 2-3 with 3 RBI raising his season average to .438 and his slugging percentage to .763.

Steve Thompson went on a tear again extending his hit streak to 6 games by going 3-3 with 3 walks, 3 runs scored, and 1 RBI. Over the past 5 games Thompson is hitting .643 with a .714 slugging percentage.

A Knights record was set by Shawn Rasmussen who played all 9 positions in 9 innings. He started the game behind the plate and ended the game on the mound. Shawn also raised his team lead on stolen bases with his 10th of the season.
