Anatomy of a six-game sweep

It wasn't looking good for the varsity baseball team after two innings against host LBJ at Nelson Field Friday night. LBJ scored four unearned runs thanks to timely hitting and two uncharacteristic Knight infield errors. The Knights trailed 4-1 on the road against a team that very much would have liked to avenge the Knights 4-1 win Tuesday in which the Knights scored three runs in the bottom of...

The Knights broke up a pitchers' duel Tuesday night at Northwest Park in the bottom of the sixth inning, scoring three runs to defeat LBJ, 4-1, in the district opener for both teams.

The Knights scored six in the second and five in the third...
