Mobile, AL - The Knights were back on the field on Saturday, April 6th as they played the Rams of the University of Mobile. The Knights were coming off of two losses at the hands of William Carey and were looking to get back on track against the Rams.
Game One
The Knights would be kept quiet early on in the game as the Rams would score first in the second inning with the Knights best threat coming in the fourth inning when they would get runners on second and third but would be unable to push any runs across as they would remain down 1-0. The luck would turn around for the Knights in the fifth inning when they would get an RBI single by
Christina Zeppa ato tie the game up at 1-1. The luck would remain on the Knights side in the sixth inning as they would score two runs on an RBI single by
Summer Lawrence and a passed ball with the bases loaded would plate the second run. The Knights defense would hold the Rams as the Knights would win the first game of the series 3-1.
Game Two
The second game of the series would be low scoring just like the first game as both teams seemed to be evenly matched. The Knights would be unable to get a hit until the fifth inning when they would do their damage. A bunt single by
Taylor Layne and a walk by
Georgia Bice would set up
Mary Ballard for the two-run double to give the Knights a 2-0 lead. Two runs would be all the Knights would need as
Madisyn Riggins and the Knights defense would keep the Rams from scoring and the Knights would win the second game of the series 2-0 and take the sweep over the Rams. Riggins would throw the complete game shutout, allowing just five hits while striking out five batters.
The Knights will return home as they get set to host the Skyhawks of Point University on Friday, April 12th. First pitch is scheduled for 1 PM EST.
