Box Score 1 | Box Score 2 Cochran, GA - The Knights were back on the field on Tuesday as they hosted the Skyhawks from Point University. The Knights swept the Skyhawks earlier in the season on the road and were looking to do the same at home. The Knights got off to a hot start as they would score two runs in the first inning after a leadoff double by Karlee Back and a bunt single by Summer Lawrence would set up Emma Raulerson for the two-run single to put the Knights up 2-0. The Knights would score two more runs in the third inning on back-to-back RBI double by Georgia Bice and Alexis Cosgrove and the Knights pull ahead 4-0. The Knights would continue their offensive attack in the fifth inning as they would load the bases with no outs. A fielder's choice would allow the first run to score with RBI singles from Cosgrove and Addison Renfroe to follow. A double steal would lead to Cosgrove scoring the winning run as they Knights would force a mercy rule and win 8-0. The Knights would have a much different game in the second game of the doubleheader. The Knights would score in the first on an error as they would lead 1-0 after the first inning. After allowing a run in the fifth inning, the Knights would retake the lead on a Lawrence home run to put the Knights up 2-1. The Skyhawks would score two runs in the sixth inning but the Knights would score two runs in the bottom half of the inning on an Arabia Easley RBI double and a Raulerson RBI single to put the Knights ahead 4-3 and the Knights would close out the game to win by the same score.
