The Knights steadfastly refuse to be solidly good or bad, clawing their way back to .500 with a five-game winning streak and some timely late-innings fireworks tonight. Daniel Ponce de Leon got the start and pitched his way no closer to a Chicago cameo, his ERA sitting at 9.99 after four hits and five walks in four innings combined for four runs (three earned). He left the game after 95 pitches, trailing 4-3.
The three early Knights runs were split between the second and fourth innings. In the second, Nate Mondou didn’t have to wait long at second base after his leadoff double; Carlos Pérez drove him in with a first-pitch single, pulling the Knights within one.
