in both weeks the knights held thier opponent, Havin Fun and Pride Staff respectivly, to only 4 runs as the Knights defense took center stage on both nights. Key defensive plays by almost all of the Knights have shown what time can do for a defense that greatly struggled only a year ago. New Knights Shauna Johnson, Justin Brailey, Kendall and Andre DeJung have all contributed offensivly and defensivly to the stalwart Knights regulars. In Week 1 the Knights offense featured Matt "Gumby" Moore with key RBI's using a triple and double. Justin began to show his potential and smooth swing in both games getting a key double in Week 2. Scott Hatfield hit the first round tripper of the season in Week 1, a solo job to extend a lead the Knights would not give up. But the highlight of week 1 was Ron Melkonian's long, bases loaded "double" that 1-hopped to the wall (only counted as a double because with the hit the game was effectivly over, otherwise count it as you will- it would have been at least a triple at any other time) to end the game. Week two was a slow start offensivly and on defense. but by the second both ends picked up and the Knights buckled down to secure the win with strong defensive play up the middle.
Stay tuned for Week 3 action as the Knights take on Clovis Recycling at 9:30!
