Box Score Miami Gardens, FL – The Knights were on the field on Monday, May 16th as they were set to take on the Bobcats of St. Thomas University. The Bobcats were the 1-seed and the hosts of the Regional. The Knights and Bobcats were locked in a pitchers duel for the first few innings as neither team could figure the other out. The Knights would be the first team to figure it out as Justin Brooks would lead off the inning by reaching base on an error. Ryan Wilson would hit a double down the right field line to give the Knights runners on second and third with no outs. Brian Herrera would hit an RBI groundout to give the Knights the 1-0 lead. One run would be all the Knights would get as the Bobcats would get three runs in the fifth inning and two runs in the sixth inning as the Knights would fall behind 5-1. The Knights would have opportunities in the eighth and ninth innings but could not get any runs across the plate and the Knights would lose the game 5-1. Garrett Martin would throw the complete game, going eight inning and allowing five runs on eight hits while striking out seven batters. The Knights will have to play their way out of the loser's bracket as they will be back in action on Tuesday, May 17th as they take on the 2-seed Bulldogs of McPherson College. First pitch is scheduled for 11 AM EST.
