The Cannons dropped a hard fought game that ended the teams 9-game winning streak. The Cannons managed to scratch out only two unearned runs on 5 hits.
Bart Jenson was solid in his Cannons debut pitching 4 innings, striking out 7 with only one walk and two runs allowed. Dave Ash pitched three scoreless innings in relief to keep the Cannons close. Dave Tabaka was also sharp in 1 1/3 innings but was victimized by a throw hitting a baserunner's helmet that allowed the winning run to score.
In the top of the ninth with two out and runners on second and third for the Cannons, Aaron Mackey hit a come-backer to the pitcher for what appreared to be the third out. With Mackey hustling down the line the Knights first baseman was unable to hold onto a low throw allowing Mackey to reach first safely. On the play Aaron Phillips scored from third to tie the game at 2-2.
In the bottom of the ninth inning with one out the Knights hitter laced a shot into the right-center field gap and attempted to stretch the hit into a triple. On the relay throw to third base the ball appreared to have the Knights runner beat but hit off the back of the runners helmet and bounced into the Cannons dugout allowing the winning run to score.
