It's A New Knight

Regular Season In The Books
Playoffs To Start


Three months ago, they didn't know each other. Today, the Knights can look back on the regular season that was, and the playoff run that is about to be.

Playing their final regular season game of the year yesterday, the Knights showed why they have become the team that "nobody wants to play."

The day for the Knights started with a strong 3 inning performance by right hander Steve Ray. Add in several circus catches by All Star center fielder Doug Weaver, and the Knights were holding tough against league powerhouse Tennessee Dirtbags. Unfortunately, it simply wasn't meant to be. Following the strong start, the Knights struggled in the middle innings before mounting a end of game comeback that concluded with the Knights winding up on the wrong side of the 11-6 final.

"No question we will need the fresh arms of Robin and Ross to help us advance through the upcoming tournament." said Player Manager Bill Gubbins following the game. Gubbins was referring to Knight's Robin Burnette and Ross Harkins who have become the cornerstones of the Knights pitching staff, and, who both have been unable to pitch down the stretch for the Knights.

Up first in the League Championship Series for the Knights is a scheduled Tuesday night tilt against the Cardinals, with the winner of the game advancing to the Championship Semi Finals on Thursday night. "It's win or go home" said Gubbins as he reviewed team stats looking for the best lineup combination leading up to the post season.

And so it goes. The Knights now round third and head for home. The regular season is over and it's now time for Money Ball. So, hang in and hang for it's about to become a......


Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Knight!!
