Marli Rectenwald, Morgan Zaffino and losing pitcher Samantha Childs had a single apiece for the Knights.

In the junior varsity game, Rectenwald’s three-run triple sparked Eisenhower to a 9-3 win.

Haley Kent added two hits and a pair of RBIs and Caitlyn Pikna chipped in a double in support of winning pitcher Cierra Melquist.
