Knights classic

By Larry

The Knights Classic ended with our Squire team finishing 2nd. We lost to Lake Central in the final game 4-1. Nicholas was injured during the entire tourney with his knee. He did get to DH and had some singles, a triple and one double. Entirely out of pitchers in the final game Nicholas asked to come in and close the last inning of the championship game giving up a walk, a double that brought in one run. He struck out 2 batters and we could not get any runs in the bottom of the 7th and lost 4-1.

We are now in our league tournament and Nicholas' knee has healed and he's back in the starting line up. Struggling a bit at the plate he did send 2 shots deep into right field. The last one with bases loaded, one out in the bottom of the 7th inning. The sacrifice fly brought in the winning run, a walk off (LOL) 4-3 win.

Nicholas did come in to close out a game a few days earlier in which we led 16-1. He threw 13 pitches, striking out the last 2 batters for a save.
