Dorchester, MA....The Knights traveled to Ronan Park to host the West Roxbury Nationals in the first meeting of these 2 franchises. Sean Hannon took the rock for the Knights facing off against Steve Palladino.
The Knights plated one early on a double by Kenny Polanco that scored Ben McBride all the way from first base. The Nationals countered with 3 runs in the top of the 2nd jumping on a Knights error to take the early 3 - 1 lead. The Knights then score single runs in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th to take a 4 - 3 lead they would not relinquish. Sean Hannon settled in after the 2nd and tamed the Nationals bats lasting 5 innings in the desert heat. Sean Carlson pitched the 6th inning stranding a runner on 3rd base with no out by striking out the side. Cory Laliberte came on in the 7th to close the game and earning his first career save as a Knight.
Kenny Polanco (3-4, 2B, 1R, RBI) stayed red hot earning his 12th RBI in his last 7 games
