On April 16, the Knights played against Pattonville and lost to the score 9-3. To start, junior Justin Rhomberg played the game as the starting pitcher. During the fifth inning junior Ryan Susic took Rhomberg’s place as the pitcher. In the third inning, senior Markus Emerson got a hit which resulted in junior Hunter Tabor scoring. The Pirates got their huge lead when their team scored four runs near the beginning of the game by hitting a grand slam. “We did’t play up to the level we normally play at. Our offense was not hitting the ball anywhere near as well as we did in previous games,” Emerson said. “We need to work on limiting walks and errors to keep the game in reach.” (Photos by Kamryn Bell)
