Big Innings Doom Knights at FCA

The Marietta Knights were swept out of the FCA March to Victory on Saturday in Cumming. They lost the first game of the day 16-1 to the Cobb Coyotes and followed up with a 12-4 loss to the East Marietta Astros. The Knights got very good pitching from Patrick, Hunter, JD and Robby but were hurt once again by poor defensive play. Of the 28 runs scored, only 10 were earned. JD, George, Garrett and Robby all came through with RBI hits. The Knights turned two double plays in the Astros game. In the first, Jack hauled in a high pop fly at deep short and doubled off the runner at 3rd. In the 2nd Patrick caught a deep fly ball in center and threw a laser to third to catch the Astros runner trying to advance. The funniest moment of the day came after Patrick was called out at 3rd trying to stretch a double into a triple against the Coyotes. Coach Rob argued that the 3rd baseman did not make the tag. After the argument, the Coyotes' third baseman called timeout and said "but...I really didn't tag him." Unfortunately Patrick was still out. The Knights have two practices this week and then take two weekends off for Spring Break. We hope all the kids and families have a great break and come back ready to play some great baseball.
