The Knights regained the lead on a Wyatt Neall RBI double in the top of the third inning, but once again the home team tied up the game in their half of the inning at 3-3.

In the top of the fifth inning, the Knights’ Wes Wilcox singled to drive in Neall for a 4-3 lead.

With Eisenhower clinging to a one-run lead in the top of the seventh inning, Braylon Baker hit a two-run single to make it 6-3.
