Cochran, GA - The Knights were back on the field on Friday, April 12th as they hosted the Skyhawks of Point University for a conference doubleheader. The Knights were hot coming off of a sweep over #14 Mobile and were looking to keep their momentum trending in a positive direction.
Game One

Georgia Bice would lead the inning off with a solo home run. The Knights would score their second run on catcher's interference with the bases loaded and score runs on a sacrifice fly from
Summer Lawrence and a two-run double from
Alexis Cosgrove. The Knights would score two more runs in the third inning on a sacrifice bunt from
Christina Zeppa and an RBI single from
Morgan Windham to take a 7-2 lead. The offense would continue to roll in the fourth inning as they would score nine runs in the inning as they would take a 16-2 lead into the fifth inning and force the mercy rule.
Beth Eddins would pitch the complete game, allowing four hits while striking out seven batters.
Game Two
The second game of the series would start out much like the first as the Skyhawks would score a run in the first inning but the Knights would answer back in the bottom half of the inning with an RBI double from

Summer Lawrence to unload them as she would hit the grand slam to make it a 6-2 game. The Skyhawks would get a run back in the fourth inning but the Knights would score two runs in the bottom half of the inning on a two-run double from
Madisyn Riggins and the Knights would take an 8-2 lead. The Knights would finish the game off in the fifth inning with RBI singles from
