RUSSELL -- Caleb Jakubczak went 3 for 3, but it wasn't enough for Eisenhower as Union City beat the Knights 13-4 in Monday's Region 4 baseball game at Werner Park.
The Knights got on the board first when Jakob Pikna singled in Jakubczak, who reached base on a single to center field, giving Eisenhower a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning.
The Bears were able to tie the game in the top of the third inning, then pushed their lead out adding 12 runs in the next two innings to put the game away.
Jakubczak did a little of everything for the Knights. He hit a pair of doubles and stole two bases, then came on as a relief pitcher after starting in center field.
Wesley Wilcox took the loss for Eisenhower. The right-hander went four innings, giving up five runs on six hits. He struck out three and walked five batters.
Next up for the Knights is a nonregion game against Oil City on Wednesday.
