Caleb Jakubczak hit a two-run home run in the top of the seventh inning, but it wasn’t enough as Eisenhower dropped a 6-2 baseball decision at Lakeview on Friday.

The Knights were able to load the bases with one out after Jakubczak’s home run, but hit into an unassisted double play to end the game.

Michael Palmieri started on the hill for Eisenhower, threw five innings and gave up three earned runs. Wesley Wood came on in relief and threw a clean sixth inning.

The Knights saw their record drop to 0-7 on the season. They welcome Mercyhurst Prep to Werner Park on Monday in a regional game. First pitch is at 4 p.m.
