WEB CAST.
Knightdale left hander, Daniel Batts fired a complete game two hitter keeping the Trojans off balance all night long as the Knights handed the Trojans their first conference loss of the season 6-1.
The Knights (4-4, 2-2) scored their first of four runs (three unearned) off Trojan starter Tyler Marshburn (L, 3-1) in the opening inning as Jonathan Smith scored on a error allowing TJ Viracola to reach and give the home team a 1-0 lead.
After a pair of runs in the fourth and a single run in the fifth, Knightdale had a 4-0 lead before the Trojans got on the board.
Garner (7-4, 4-1) pushed across a run in the sixth as Marshburn walked and scored one batter later when Reese Bridges dropped a fly ball in right field to make it 4-1.
That would be a close as the Trojans would get as Knightdaled added a pair of runs in the last of the sixth for the final margin of 6-1.
