EBK traveled to their home away from home in Malden at Maplewood to complete their 5 game road trip to start the season. Jefry Castro got the call for the Knights facing off against Jeff Croteau for the Dogs. Pitching and defense was the name of the game tonight in a tight game at the 'wood. Castro, Carlson and Allison combined to keep batters off balance all Knight to earn the 3 hit shutout. The Knights plated single runs in the 2nd, 5th and 6th to secure the win. Eduardo Colmenares hit a bomb just shy of the fence in the 2nd for a double and later scored on a Geoff Hariis groundout to 2B. Jose Paulino hit the ball hard all night hitting a double and was plated by Mike Oliveira in the 6th. That's all the Knights pitching staff would need to escape from Malden with a victory. Knights finish 5 - 0 on the road stand and head to Eastie Friday to face the A's at home at "The Stadium"

The Knights had an early 3 - 0 lead heading into that inning but the Yankees got to Lendall for 2 runs before the double play. The Knights picked up another run on a Mikey Oliveria double to take a 4 to 2 lead. Shawn Carlson came on in relief of Eaton and stuck out the 6 batters he faced and Jon Shepard earned his 2nd save in as many chances by pitching the 7th. Offensively for the Knights Mikey O (3 hits) and Kenny Polanco (2 hits) led the attack on the Knight. George Ziegler was the tough luck loser pitching a complete game for the Yankees.
